« on: February 02, 2021, 08:49:39 AM »
What are you guys doing for new engine oil dipstick and tube? I have a 67 390 going in a 55 Ford f100 and the original dipstick tube is garbage.

FE Technical Forum / 390 Build
« on: August 26, 2020, 09:47:45 AM »
I'm working on a guys 54 f100 that someone swapped in a 390. I got a 67 390 out of a car that he wants me to get rebuilt and wants to have a "strong 400hp" out of it. What would you guys suggest for parts to get me to that point? Please no negative comments I've tried asking on facebook and they just suggested going to a windsor but obviously I'm not doing that.
Thanks for the help!
It does have block hugger headers on it already. I do know he wants it to sound healthy but I know that doesn't mean a whole lot. It will be more of a toy than a daily driver.
With out porting what can 67 heads handle?

« on: December 25, 2011, 10:46:55 PM »
I am looking to buy a manual steering gear box. I think anyone from 65 to late 70s ford fullsize car will work. pitman arm and rag joint would be good also.
Also looking for stock adjustable rocker arms for a FE.
Thanks
Aaron

FE Technical Forum / 428 help please
« on: December 24, 2011, 04:44:02 PM »
I have had my 428 for quite a number of years now but i REALLY don't know much about how to make them really run. He is a run down on what i have so far.
66 428 4v out of a 66 2door LTD(now deceased)
rebuilt in 1996
30 over bore
10/10 crank
stock compression 10.5
out of the box Edy heads
streetmaster single plane intake (previously modified not by me)
Holley 850 double pumper
crower cam 16255
280/288 duration
549/550 lift
108 centerline
duration @.050 224/232
last but not least 125 shot of nitrous
hooker supercomp headers
I am pulling the motor out and I'm going to tear it down to inspect for any wear. i have never had the oil pan off this motor since it was rebuilt in 96. the mods have come over time since the rebuild. This is mainly a good day beat around truck that goes to the drag strip a few times a year. I really have no "problems" with the motor other than a little noise at steady throttle. Nitrous has only been on the motor for 3 years.
What mods should i do to the oiling system when i have it apart if any. it already has a high volume pump on it. oil pressure is about 75ish when cold and 20plus when hot.
I would like to make a little more NA power. I am on a small budget. what would help me the most cam, higher compression, different carb?
? I don't want to turn this motor over 6000rpms.
This motor is in a 65 f-100 swb that weighs about 3450lbs.
ANY info will be great. please feel free to ask any questions you may have on this. Don't bash me to hard I'm still learning. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

« on: December 24, 2011, 04:11:47 PM »
This is my first vehicle i bought when i turned 16 back in 1994. It started life as a 240 6cyl and 4speed. When i got bored with that i put in a 352 and an automatic. A year later my dads 66 2door LTD got totaled out which happened to have a 4v 428 with a c-6 trans. I wanted more motor and we joined the two together along with a torino front stub and lowering the rear. We had the motor rebuilt to stock specs and trans rebuilt also.
I had a friend introduce me to the world of drag racing. I was hooked and the truck has been a work in progress ever since. The best quarter mile run so far has been 11.96 @110mph.
