agreed, but this is a street car that may see occasional use at the local track. if i wanted every last bit of power i'd be getting a stroker kit and aluminum heads too. those things will be for the 'next' build, lol.
thanks, neil.

hopefully the 360 engine i have will fire up and run well enough to go in my nash while i build a 390 for it. i've got the inlet adapter and tunnel ram now and i'm looking into a retro fit roller cam swap. the cam and lifters will add up to about £800 which sounds a lot but it'll eliminate the issues with flat tappet cams/lifters. we'll see.....

paid the customs fees today so my jay brown intake adapter should be delivered soon. i'll collect my 351 cleveland tunnel ram at the swapmeet sunday, that'll bolt to the above adapter. just need to see what carb's are there sunday and if not i'll buy a new pair of chedelbrock (chinese edelbrock, lol) 500's.

looks like i've found a 351c tunnel ram. it's had the top altered for injection (enderle i think?) but at the price that's easily sorted.

a little nash update to squeeze in between other stuff we have going through the shop. i've found a 351c tunnel ram in florida and emailed for a shipping price to the uk, fingers crossed......
neil.
edit... that was a bust.

Only 2 carburetors?
I hope that the a/c compressor is tucked WAAAY under.
wellll.... if a single 4 tunnel ram comes up cheap enough i may redo the top for 3x2's, only they'd be weber 38/38's. with a progressive linkage that only runs on the centre carb til 1/2 throttle then all 3 in by full throttle it should be ok. we'll see what comes up.
neil.
ps the AC compressor's a small sanden type so easy enouigh to tuck out of the way, lol.

just a little update... i've ordered one of Jay's intake adapters so i can fit a tunnel ram to my motor. i mean a gasser with a single 4 barrel wouldn't be right would it? plus it'll draw the eye away from the AC compressor hung on the side (i'm getting old, what can i say).
neil.
ps Jay is very easy to deal with as expected, thanks.

have you looked on ebay uk? there's often fe's for sale, there's a 390 in bits now for under £1000. oh, and a 360 block is the same as a 390 block just with a 352 crank'.

hi all, here's a link to the build so far and although i've chopped and changed the plans so far i've settled on another fe build for it. this time it'll have a 5 speed manual box, my 66 fairlane gta had a c6 with the 390 as did my ford anglia wagon gasser seen in my profile pic.
cheers, neil.
