A stock 390 can be pleanty peppy with the correct carb and headers alone. Do you have the factory C6AE R heads? Those are amoung the best street heads you can have. Check out fordfe.com and search the great intake comparrison. The factory intake out performed some of the aftermarket intakes. I beli...

I ended up passing on this deal, the guy wanted it gone today and wouldn't wait till tomorrow. So I guess you can say it wasn't ment to be lol. I will be patient and hopefully something pops up locally or I get the dream beam setup...

I will definitely do that, I am just going on hear say so I'm not sure of the extent of the gunk in the carb...

why does it need a rebuild? If you need to clean it jist reove the metering rods and the top of the carb and wash it out and blow it out, otherwise there isnt much you can rebuild. Many carbs get "REBUILT" for nothing. Well my father mentioned that when he ran the truck it began to sputte...

Thanks for the help guys. I have the room for the vehicle but no way of getting it home Its about an hour and half drive north in Southern Austin. I had called the guy back to make sure that he would still have it waiting for me on Tuesday but he shed some more light on the "complete vehicle&qu...

Damn it man! Well he offered to sell the crossmember for $100 or the whole car for $350. So it looks like I may just purchase the entire car

OK SO I HAVE MY HANDS WRAPPED FIRMLY AROUND A 2006 CROWN VIC FORMER CAB WHICH WAS WRECKED IN THE REAR FOR A WHOPPING $300! But the only issue I see is the engine has not been removed. my question is this, does the engine have to be pulled out in order to drop the crossmember? And any specialty tools...

Like always S**T happens! I began to pull the original exhaust manifolds off this weekend and I broke a bolt which happened to hide inside of the block. I attempted to drill the sucker out but broke a few bits in the process. So now the headers are on the backburner. But as for the carb i was able t...

So it appears that i have another option in lowering the front of my '66. By swapping the spring pockets from my 1/2 ton to those of a 3/4 ton (F250/350 I take it) i am able to achieve a 4-5" drop. Now I can understand the concept, but i dont know the difference between the two. So if someone ...

3/4 ton from a 61-66? Did you use the springs as well?

MadMaxetc wrote:You will get the beams realy close to the crossmember, but you could cut some notches it it to fix that. It can be done, you just limit the travel a lot.

By notching will it compromise the integrity of the crossmember? And as for travel I rarely load this thing up so it shouldnt be an issue...

Been quite awhile since I had a twin I truck but; I was looking at the same thing, as long as the geometry remains similar and there is travel room don't see any reason it can't be done. You will also need to adjust the radius arm pivot to match. Watch out on the steering linkage geometry too. You ...

Hey guys, anyone ever heard of redrilling the beam pivot point higher on the bracket to lower the front? I ran across a post on another site, and the dude said he redrilled the pivot hole higher and cut his springs 5" to accomadate for camber. With this he was able to achieve a 3-4" drop. ...

I was browsing the pages looking for a horn relay and stumbled across this beauty. Now its not everyones cup of tea but I am sure you will appreciate the workmanship. Check out the that cluster!! I am digging the steering wheel also not to mention every other detail of this truck ... http://www.live...

Thanks all for the quick feedback, I do have a Holley 650 somewhere around here and more than likely will bolt that one up. I had gotten a really good deal on the 750 and was excited to use it. But like yall mentioned, this is my DD that i ocassionaly open up from time to time lol No track Beast her...

hello there from San Antonio Texas! I have a stocker 1966 LWB w/ a 390 and C6 Auto and I am getting ready to install an Edelbrock performer 390 manifold and an Edelbrock 750 carb. I've heard mixed opinions on whether or not this is the carb for setup. stock heads, stock internals... so is there anyo...

I am getting ready to put on some aftermarket headers on my FE 390, If youre interested the factory manifolds would be available for sale. I am in San Antonio. Let me know with a PM
