don't want to give away too much on what's beneath it!

kinda hard with a 6 71 on top of it, i think

let's see what it does with all the new drivetrain parts and suspension setup...
when I finally do finish it, i can always redo the powerplant and decide i want a Weiand on top, yes

I don't know if they make a kit for FE's or not, but you could retain the stock hood, and run one of the belt driven units that mount with brackets to the frong of the engine, but are down on the side of the engine rather then on top..... They work very well, too!!!!

Pleaeaeassseee don't get me all hot for more power again!
I'm just about done, getting the transmission ready for the pumped up 390...

And I would have to fit another new set of pistons, 'cause I'm running 11 to 1 static Cr right now, wich is borderline pumpgas acceptance as it is, without pressurised inductance aids

Would I do that???? Heck, what would you do with another 100 horsepower anyway???? Who needs it???

completely agree...500, 600, 700, or even 1000...it's just sluggish anyway...
why spend several thousands to gain this little bit more power!

on a more serious note let's see it together as I planned it to be...with the measily 500 horsies...and see if it all stays together, recognisable as a "car", wich one could call anything close to reliable

maybe ... if i succeed in doing that, I might considder going blown on a second project

Haha, yes, my grandson pointed it out to me as well. Seems like 19 yr olds have nothing better to do than visit web sites.

I hate exposing them to bad words, I would much rather they volunteer to go to Iraq and then,.... have them sent back a few weeks later.

Just who are we trying to kid anyway? Are we going to try and fool ourselves into thinking that we have achieved a certain level of virtuousness just because we don’t type certain words when all the while we are a part of some of the most evil nations ever.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not advocating the use of slang(which happens all the time on this site) or offensive language, but give this world just a few more short years, and even these words that seem so offensive at this time, will not only be accepted, but even find their way into our language as official words and into our dictionaries. I could give you several examples of a few words that have done just that within the last 50 years.

nice!

I haven't got the availability of a real brake-in stand so I can't actually measure the new power it's producing now... Oh well...the PC dyno predicts something in between the 440-515 Range and that's fine with me!

just out of curiousity, what did you do with your "stock" 390? any major changes to get it to that number?

got pics?

always nice to see a fresh new rebuild engine!

scat crank ross pistons camp cam high energy 33-248-4,
eagle H rods, comp rocker arm kit......not to bad was going to blow it but not know

Looks like it is going to be a very nice Galaxie, Brandon!!! Anxious to see it when it's all put together!!! Love them old Fords!!!!!

Well, maybe they'll be in the dictionary, and maybe they will be an official word, but to me it will never be anything more then offensive..... I guess I will never understand how vulgarity should be acceptable. Our written word has done quite well without it for many years. Virtuosity has nothing to do with it. It's just common courtesy and consideration..... Maybe if we all lower our standards to the lowest common denominator life will improve??? I doubt it.....

I hear you Dave. I still don't like the word, "ain't". It sounds low grade to me.

Well, I used to think words such as "Damn", "Gezz", "Gaudy", "bloody", "Darn", "Frickin'", "F'in" just to mention a few, were vulgar. That was only 20 years ago. Now I see them as verbs, adjectives and words that emphasis certain events, etc. And although I may not use them as the words of choice, I no longer find them offensive.

Having said that, I would most certainly not use them in certain situations.
