RE: New FE owner. Basic stuff.
By Allen - 09/16/2003 11:50:56 AM; IP 12.65.13.4
I just rebuilt my 390 in my 67 Galaxie over the winter/spring and this is what my combo has:
Edelbrock 650 vacuum secondaries
Edelbrock 427 intake (don't know if they still make this)
Hooker Super Comp headers
Pertronix ignitor module
MSD 6AL box
MSD blaster 2 coil
Sterling Hypereutectic pistons .030 over
Comp Cams 268H cam with the valve springs they recommend
Milodon 7 quart pan
HV oil pump
other minor stuff

This car seems to make decent power, but the one thing holding me back for now is the rear gears (still stock 2.79 or something like that). I only really drive it on the weekends since I live in Chicago, but my work seems to think it is better to ship me out to DC, so I still only have like 500 miles on the rebuild. When I get at least 800-1000 miles on it I will start really putting the pedal to the metal. If I were doing this for cheap, the things I would do first are 4 barrel carb and intake, cam, then headers, then MSD ignition. But building any car isn't cheap so watch out as it will snowball on you.
This thread, so far...
