352 / 390 1968 fe
By Jason - 11/03/2003 5:20:16 PM; IP 68.13.85.1
I have a 65 galaxie convertable, I have a 1968 390 with the tranny from a ltd, I got the motor compleat from fan to the rear of the tranny.

My question is kinda intresting, I'm looking to build this motor up, as one the 65 gal is not a "small" car by any means, but I want some power, cuttently this motor has been stripped down to the block, all that is left on it is the cam barings, freez plugs, and the dipstick tube.

I have heard of people using ither 428 or 427 motor parts for the 390, I want to build this motor up for everyday use, and at the strip for pure fun, I know a convertable isn't a race car, but I want to have some fun.

I would like all the info possable, what is cheep, but a sorce of power, here is what I kinda was thinkin

ford made a 410, I was going to go with that crank, bore it 40 over and get a mild cam, as I have an automatic, I'm not sure on what to do for heads, or intake, exaust is easy. I there is alot of stuff out there for this motor, I just need to know what to what all goes to this motor to get it the power! The 410 crank and the bore 40 over was an idea, nothing at this time has been done to this block.

Thanks for the help!!
Jason
