390GT- 850Holley d/pumper to big ?
By JP Fourie - 08/15/2004 3:45:15 PM; IP 24.230.155.82
I pulled the original 429 SC/J motor from my '71 mustang ( it's in need of a rebuild) , and swapped the 390gt in . It's from a '65/66 Galaxy 4-door , w/FMX auto . The stock 750d/p autolite is shot , and the only carb i have laying around is the Holley 850d/p from the 429 . Any suggestions on jetting ect ? or should I just fork out for a new 650 ? .
How much Nitrous can I feed the old nag , without blowing it up ? Besides looking like crap , ( the one valve cover got a hole rusted thu it !!) , it stil runs good , and , after all , is THE V8 of the '60's ! Come to think of it , my dad used to race a '61 Starliner with a 390 in it !
thanks , JP Fourie
