Thank you all. I want to run the gm t400 I think they sell the adapter somewhere. I don't have the service block with the extra webbing is that the block I will need or my pickup block be okay for more power down the road . I have the flowtech long tube headers will they work inside the 1993 Ford Mustang or I need to get different ones for installing the fe.what oil pan do I need to get to clear the k member . I need to buy a tubular k member but I don't know which one

yes im on a strict budget. 390 block is the only one i can afford..i would love to run 9's.Ive seen the 445 ci in the 500 range i was assuming the bigger stroke will help me achieve more power.

thank you blykins, the 6.7 rods are the ones i want to purchase . will it be a 600hp engine ? will the long stroke meet my goals? will block filling be okay for now? i will be putting out of the box cylinder heads on.

Caption taker. How much are your Pistons ? Are the forged ?

I have a std bore 390 block. I want to bore it over .30 . I also want to purchase the 4.375 . Does anyone have knowledge of putting one in a small bore fe block.will it drop in or a little grinding will be needed, what cam will work and what pistons will I need that is already available. I want to stay with a 390 block I cannot fund a big bore fe yet. Im wanting to drag race this engine. I use the edelbrock heads for now. I know the 4.250 will drop in but Im assuming the bigger stroke will help me achieve good e.t. times.

kirk i will call you tomorrow afternoon. blykins thank you for replying to my post Ive seen most of your post your work is extremely interesting to me. I don't mind taking it to a machine shop. do you have one of those ft cranks?
