		hey guys! i just found this board and it is great! good to know that other people share interests in FE blocks like me!   unlike the majority here, i dont own a vintage stang or thunderbird with a FE!  instead, i have old ford trucks (6 to be exact)  my question is,  most of them have V8s.  how can i differentiate between a 360 or a 390? the people i bought them from can say anything but how can i know for sure? anything to look for?? i dont go by vin # codes because the cabs could have  been changed (rust ect)!  
  moreover,  my   buddies laugh at me for wanting to 'hop-up'  an FE engine! they say they are heavy boat anchors and are terrible to modify!  on practically every one, i installed an edelbrock manifold, headers, 4 barrel carb(600cfms) and 2.5 dual racing bullets and they run just fine! am i wasting my $$ on a block that many frown upon? it is my understanding that FE blocks are highly sought after! help!  |
