| S Code Modifications - What will interchange? |
| By Ted Young - 09/16/2001 11:39:33 AM; IP 64.12.101.179 |
I have a 69 S code, 4 speed mustang and would like to modify the motor. I have a few questions to ask of you FE experts. First off, right now I have a set of C8AE-H heads, two 360 truck motors, and a 390 motor out of a 67 Galaxie (in the mustang right now). I would like to add a 428 crank to my 390 and bore it out. What is the maximum overbore allowed on a 390? What rods and pistons must be used? What balancer must be used? Is the truck block stronger then the passenger car block? I am willing to do port work to the C8AEH heads to make the most of what I have, but plan to buy 428 CJ or 427 LR heads in the future(are these a good choice?). What do good used 428 cranks go for? What would be a good intake for this motor>? It will be for a street/strip application, and I would like it to breathe well up through 5,800-6,000 RPM. I assume a 4.11 gear in a locker rear would work well--? Do I need more gear--less gear? Which trans would run better with an appropriate gear ratio, a WR or CR toploader? Thanks.
