I wouldnt put an FE in that car, and I am very pro-FE. The 69 and 70's had a long list of to-do's, but that was in a car that came with an FE. Your style Mustang was built with 385 series (429/460) stock from the factory, the FE would be a pain to install. Personally, I think with a modern cam grind and some head work that 351 will run with any 390 if not destroy one, but if you HAD to have a big block, that car is begging for a 460 or even a crate 514/600 hp for 6 grand from Ford!
That way its a bolt in with factory parts, you can buy headers for a 429/460 71-73, but not for a 390 powered one. Just my 2 cents, but remember the Boss 351, a 351C, was quicker off the showroom floor than the 428's, the Boss 9, and the Boss 302. That old 'C is a good motor and its in it already |
