360 390 rebuild
By sunnyb - 09/17/2001 11:53:41 PM; IP 24.76.213.177
1974 Ford F-250 4x4 Highboy
dana 44 front,dana 60 rear, NP435, Spicer 24.
8000lb PTO, 33x16.5x12.5

This is all the information I could get…

Present engine used in vehicle:
BLOCK CAST : C7ME-A with “352” cast on front
BLOCK DATE : 8H07
HEAD (L)C8AE-8
HEAD (R)C8AE-8
INTAKE MAN. 8G25, C9AE 9425 – B

Spare “rebuilt” engine came with vehicle:
BLOCK CAST : D3TE with backwards “105” cast
BLOCK DATE : 4E3 ?
HEAD (L) D2TE AA
HEAD (R) C7AE-A
INTAKE MAN. D4TE-9425B2A

What do I do? I need to rebuild one or a combination of the two before this winter. The engine that’s in it right now is missing on two cylinders, I need to rebuild but don’t know where to start. Maybe since the 360 is out of the vehicle I could get it sonic mapped and if the parameters are correct, bore it out to suit the need and rebuild from there? Are there any compatability issues regarding interchangeability of parts between the two? Heads, cams etc...? (I'm not sure but is the 360 actually a 361FT?) I’m going to be hauling my sled and possibly a trailer or camper this winter, I need a strong engine, wondering if anyone can give me some advice.
Thanks in advance,
Sunnyb.

 I'd mix the parts. -- Dave Shoe, 09/18/2001
