390 FE questions...
By Frank Cricenti - 07/25/2003 6:08:44 PM; IP 216.129.28.50
I have a 390 FE GT motor out of a 67 Fairlane GTA. It is currently getting rebuilt and machined.

It is currently going into a 66 Fairlane 500xl. I want to here some recommendations from you FE experts. It will be a street driven. I want to focus on low end torque and hp. Suggestions please.

I have decided to go with a edelbrock performer 390 alum intake. The engine is 0.020 over. I have also rebuilt the C6 and put a TransGo shift kit and new converter in the tranny.

What else could I do with this motor? What could I get out of this motor? Should I go with headers or use the stock gt exhaust manifolds? What type of gears should I run... I have heavy duty suspension and a 9inch re?

I know... a lot of questions... but not many Ford guys up here in Canada... Thought I would ask the experts..

Thanks
Frank
