Help With My 360 Fe
Guys I Need Help. I Bought What I Thought Was A 390 Fe. Sent It Off To The Machine Shop To Be Bored. The Bore Is 4.11 .060 Over. I Had The Rods Reconditioned And Had Speed Pro 390 Forged .060 Over Pistons With The 4 Valve Reliefs Hung On The Rods. I Assembled The Engine And Before I Put The Heads On I Checked The Stroke. The Stroke Is 3.50. The Way I Caculate 4.11 Stroke And A 3.50 Bore The Engine Comes Out To Be A 372.
The Engine Is Supposed To Be Out Of A 73 Ford Pickup. It Had A 2 Barrell Carb And Truck Exhaust Manifolds. The Only Numbers I Can Find On The Block Is A 6 Just Above The Oil Filter Mount. Did I Wind Up With A 360 And If So Will It Work Ok With The 390 Pistons? The Pistons Don't Come All The Way Up Flush With The Deck On The Block. I Had The Rods That Came With The Engine Reconditioned And Would Like To Leave Everything The Way It Is If Possiable.
If This Is A 360 Engine And I Put 390 Pistons In It Will They Work And About What Will My Compression Be With The Pistons Being Lower? They Are About 1/8 Of And Inch Lower Than The Deck. The Heads Are Ca8e-h
If It's A 360 And Everything Will Work I Don't Mind Because It'll Be Abracket Car Anyway.
I Have A 1963 390 Out Of A Galaxie. Can I Swap The Crank Out Ot It And Leave Everything Else Alone?
Thank You

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
