FE project
By Paul G. - 02/07/2002 3:47:52 PM; IP 65.105.39.2
Hello all,
After many years of faithful service my 74-F250 finally fell apart around the engine. I have pulled the engine and am trying to decide what to do with it. The block is a D4TE 390 4 bbl truck block and the heads are C7AE 390 gt heads I aquired 5 years ago when I freshened up the motor. I am considering dropping the FE in my 69 Cougar convertible. Can anyone tell me what I could do to get more cubes from the block. Can it be bored? Can I swap in the rotating assembly from a 428? Are the D4TE blocks any good or should I just junk it and sell the heads? The guy who sold me the heads has a whole basement full of FE parts and several 6.5 & 7.0 galaxies. I can probably obtain any parts I would need to build up this motor, Is it worth it?
Thanks,
Paul G.
