Been a while since I updated, I got the 390 running got the junk burned out of the exhaust. She runs great but has a little hesitation on the low end and is lacking power near idle.
I rebuild the carb before I put it on was fouled up pretty bad seems the more I run it the better she gets.
My next concern is the trunk and frame under the trunk. I'm planning on boxing the frame under the trunk. Well see how this goes. And then replace the trunk floor.
Been busy with the life with kids now up to 3 of them....

I will throw pics up tonight of how she's looking.

The engine is laying on a floor from what I can't tell.
I found it on Craigslist and the guy said he had put it in a rv.
Can I put my 352 4 barrel setup on this?
Is there any way of knowing the compression on this or if it was a truck engine?

I have made full revolutions so if I valve was stuck I suppose it's now bent

Hello my name is Steve and I'm in need of some guidance.
I bought a 1965 Galaxie 500, it has a 352 with the three on the tree, the car is original from carb to pan. The tabs on it are from 1989, and because of this lack of road time the engine is stuck. If i tap the starter for half a second I can get it to move very little, if I put a breaker bar on the crank it dont help.
I have shined a flashlight down all the lug holes and its safe to say she is very rusty, so time for a rebuild.

This will be a project car for a a few year with my boys "4 year old and 9 month old" so it isnt going to get done anytime soon.
I want the car to keep the 352, however I wish to bump up my compression ratio to 11:1 to burn E-85.
I know this seams a bit weird for a original car but its something I want to do, since it needs to be bored anyway.

The only other mods I want to do is cam, and port the heads, maybe headers down the road.
Here is the Galaxie in her glory... or lack of glory
