RE: Upgrade to 390 and -?- transmission...?
By Jay - 09/24/2000 11:04:49 PM; IP 216.26.6.67
Lou - thanks for the input. The 332 displacement on the FE is known to be a bit anemic on HP. The wagon that I have currently has a 3.56 rear end, and I have a parts car with a 3.70, so rear end ratios shouldn't be a problem.

Is it true that the aluminum case 2-speed Fordomatic is the same as the C4? This could be a good thing...if I could use a tranny with the same case and gain a third drive gear...almost necessary for towing.

As for the engine - I just don't want to get caught with too little power, and everyone praises the 390 as being the best combo of power and mileage.

Another option I have to me would to mix & match blocks and cranks I have on hand to build a 352. Can anyone give any good/bad feedback on that idea?

Thanks again!

Jay
