long rod 390 for sale - Denton Tx
« on: June 16, 2014, 10:21:19 AM »
Since I got the stroker motor from Blair I don't have much need for my old motor and no place to store it so it's gotta go! Currently sitting in the back of my little POS pickup with trashbags on to keep the rain out.

has 21,099 miles and was installed on 1/2 2012.  Runs great, has lots of low-end torque and only has one issue- the steel freeze plugs are rusting through and will need to be replaced.

Heads are unported C4AE-G.  They have 37K miles since rebuild by local Denton shop Wayne Calvert Precision Engines. Hardened exhaust seats were used in the rebuild.

intake is the unmodified original 4v cast iron unit that came in my 65 Galaxie

.040 over 390 block bored, honed and align honed by Charles Ehler at Charles Automotive machine in Arlington Tx
Charles also did the usual oiling mods on the block, reconditioned the rods and balanced the rotating assembly.

Crank is a stock 390 unit
Rods are 360 (long rods) with aftermarket bolts - They aren't marked but Charles said he thought they looked like Milodons.

pistons are hypereutectic speed pro milled by me to run .008 above the decks for improved quench.  Head gaskets are fel-pro perma-torque 8554 resulting in around .040 quench distance. Rings are moly faced and gaps filed to fit. Sorry, don't remember what end gaps but it was per Barry R's book.

Cam is a hydraulic flat tappet from Crower. Part number 16241.  Dur @ .050 Lift: 222°/228° Lift: .538/.552 LSA: 112°

Melling high volume oil pump

Cleveland 1/2 groove main bearings with tangs filed to fit FE mains.

Summit 600 vacuum secondary 4V carb

Taylor plug wires, chrome air cleaner and finned valve covers INCLUDED.

Asking $1500. Local only please, can deliver in the Dallas/Ft worth area.
