FE Technical Forum / Re: 390 won't handle the 750hp double pumper

what kind of intake gaskets are you using.  the felpros leaked on my 390 ended up us victor reinz.  I would still change to a 4.5 or lower power valve.  might want to block the back ones and up the jet sizes in the secondarys.

the engine bay was surprisingly big.  I picked the car up for $500 dollars minus the motor.  I dropped a 302 into and it was to small, so I dropped an fe block in it that i use to dummy stuff up and it looked perfect.  Headers are for a late 50's T-bird.  It does monster burn-outs, especially with 3.25 ring gear i have in it now.
my dad keeps trying to talk me into throwing the 4.11's in it and head to the drag strip.  I might after i get the front bumper installed.  I thought it would be easy, buy the aerodynamic bumper and just put it on.  Unfortunately that is not the case.  The directions say for it to be installed by a professional  and that is about it.  My time for working on it is limited because of baseball and softball for my kids.  Hopefully i get it on and the car primed before to much longer.

373 is the top cubic inches in the class i want to run.  I plan on running it with the 390 in it while i finish the body work and paint.  when that is done i will start the next motor. Money is tight so i spend a lot more time researching on this build than i did on my ranger.  paulie thanks for the website

I am kicking around the idea of building a 373 fe for my rx7.  right know i have a .060 390 in it.  but i can build a 373 using one of the 361 ft cranks that i have and a .060 over d4te FT blocks that i have.  was wondering who does the best work on these cranks.  want to run 6.7 chevy rod with 2.2 bearing.  And light the crank as much as possible.  Also wondering if it is better the machine the crank for the chevy rods or machine the rods to fit the FT crank?  plan on topping this off with a Borg Warner s488 t6 turbo.  Being as this is mile course instead of 1/4 mile lag is not as critical.  any input will be appreciated
