hey guys havent posted in here in awhile been real busy. i got the rear of my 55 pretty much finished with the IRS system installed. Now im wanting to do the front end. any suggestions on IFS kits? should i just get a crossmember to start with and add the suspension peices on as i can afford...

looks good wish i could build my 390 right now

no i didnt sell anything yet for the cab i was thinking around 150 since i have the patch panels you just have to do it yourself i honestly dont know what to ask for these items

hey fellas i have a bunch of parts that im not going to be re using on the 55 and was wondering about how much i should ask or expect to get for them on craigslist.i have ; front axel with drums still atatched stock front suspension (leaf springs, steering rods, etc) rear suspension (leaf...

is that big chunk of metal on the fron driverside of the motor the AC?

sounds good

ya im having the same problem on the fender and front end bolts for my 55 there the stupid bolts that have that square part on the head thats "supposed" to fit into the square cut out on the fender and not turn well that might have worked 50 years ago but rust and people cranking down to hard...

good thing you found that our before you did some real damage to the motor

these are what i mean with the kick out il pans http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/mor-20608_w.jpg

i was shopping for a rear sump for my 390 and all the ones i found were 8 quarts or more and since the 360 is just a smaller bore size i would assume its the same but it might depend on your pan. is it a side kick out or straight?? i know those side kick outs can hold around 12 quarts

dam i guess the dual carbs will have to wait until the build up i just love the look of it o well no point in wasting money on something thats going to do more harm then good at this point thanks fellas

i have heard that its hard to tune them so thats good to konw that its just a myth but as far as mph's i could care less if its haulin ass ill keep puttin the gas smiliepeelout

i know its been bored out .30 over which we figured put it at 396 dont know about the cam and crank tho i mainly like the look i think the combo kit edelbrock had was dual 600s

might be slightly off topic but what about dual carb set ups i was thinking about one for my 390 i know edelbrock has intake and carb kits for pretty much all motors

im not to sure on the tech questions but it would seem that you would get more umff out of the holley since its bigger but the edelbrock would look better i had a holley double pumper on my 71 skylark back in high school worked great but ugly as hell imo thats pretty good deal tho for a...

thanks fellas i think im just going to paint it the same color as the block and heads like you said you wont see much of it once its in there

anyone know of where i can get a chrome timing chain cover for my 390 tried summit and jegs both didnt have one and tried google still didnt find anything

anyone ..... anyone...... bueller...... bueller.......

is that por-15 the stuff you can put over rust and it seals it?

anyone have any info/opinions on borg warner t-10 4 speeds. theres a local add for one for sale for 150 it needs to be rebuilt though. it would go behind my 390 (396 as we astablished in my previous thread) i want to know if this is a good deal or should i pass or should i not even...

see i can always count on the ford gurus to give the most exact answer i was contendt with 396 haha thanks for the help fellas

ok so im working with a 396 thats not bad hopefully it still runs strong so i can put that money somewhere else for the time being i tore it down to a short block and my friend says it looks good with no burns or build up on top of the pistons and everything rotates smoothly no i just have...

i have a 390 that has been rebuilt in the recent past the pistons say .030 so im assuming they bored them out 30 over when they built it. my questions is since im pretty sure it has the stock crank what size does that make the motor now i was told by some random guy at a bar one night who...

ya im just gonna tell her its a new dog house for the dogs shell love it then

ya im taking off work early and picking it up today im sure my lady is gonna be thrilled when i come home from work today with another cab to clutter our garage with haha

im buying the cab from a '54 f100 to put in place of my '55, i just want to make sure that it will fit. the only reason im doing it is because the guy is selling it for 50 and it only has a little surface rust on the top other than that is solid and since my '55 cab needs a new floor on the...

the ford o matics arent atatched to the motor they jst came with them as part of the trade i believe the tranny atattched to the spare 390 is a fmx or what ever its called not sure havent done the research on that one

hey tex i do have the other 390 thats complete except a carb that i am trying to sell i also have 2 ford o matic trannies that came with the motors as well (already sold the third) im in sacramento ca though

thanks for all the info fellas i ended up taking one of the 390s to a local FE specialist engine shop and we found out that the better of the two was freshily rebuilt and was bored .20 over so now its a 396 so once i find a dual carb set up that i can afford the motor will be complete for now...
