WTB: 390 bare or short block
« on: November 03, 2015, 05:58:56 AM »
I'm not having much success finding anything local(Columbia, SC). Looking at places like Survival seem like a good deal, but I remember I've got no loading dock to take delivery. I'm looking to see if anyone nearby in SC, NC, or GA have a 390 for sale.

How about junkyards with 70s trucks?

I'd seen the one in China Grove and was going to call on that one.
Hadn't seen the Ashville one, thanks!

I am not 100% if it is the same guy, but there is a guy that sells some REALLY cool old FE stuff in China grove.  I've spoken with him on Facebook a few times.  It would certainly be worth the trip to go check his stash out.

Just talked with him and am going to trek up there and see what he's got.

I ended up buying a 390 GT block from him that is ready to build. He's a really good guy, and man he's got the FE parts.
Also picked up an early 60s aluminum 4V intake as well.

Yeah, I guess he is retired and he restores FE parts as a hobby or something like that.... he always has neat crossrams and cool parts for sale up there.  Almost worthy of a pilgrimage from Georgia.

He's a drag racer. He had a 64 galaxie to race and his street car is a 63 galaxie with a 427.
Loads of FE stuff. He has a set of shorty cast iron headers I wanted but I am not sure in my Mercury they would fit.

Sounds like the same man I bought parts from a couple years back. Got what I paid for with no problems.
