When we arrived at Ed Worthington's shop in Burbank, California, we shook hands with a man whose mind never rests, a fellow who conceives ideas and weaves realistic objectives 24 hours a day. Worthington is enjoying his retirement years these days. However, forget the rocking chair, shuffleboard, and reminiscing about the good old days. Worthington has hotter fish to fry in the here and now, so he invited us to his shop to share the rapidly bending technology curve with us.
In the back of his shop was a well-dressed "FE" Ford big-block--a ´67 390 GT High Performance V-8 topped with Edelbrock aluminum heads and induction, and stuffed full of all the workings necessary to make nearly 600 horsepower and roughly 600 lb-ft of torque from 390 cubic inches. On the open road through an overdrive unit and 3.50:1 gears, Ed predicts 32 mpg in a ´67 Mustang fastback. Who says you can’t teach an old 390 passenger car engine new tricks? Certainly not Worthington, who will tell you that his approach, coupled with Speed Pro’s Sequential Fuel Injection Management System (SFIMS) from Federal-Mogul Performance, will wake up any vintage Ford V-8 engine, including flatheads and Y-blocks. ====================== Sorry Guys I had to edit this, I found itby going to Google, and typing in a search for a 600hp fuel injected 390 Ford engine
