I've got a '60 Thunderbird that lays down those kind of numbers! See ya at the track! Just kidding... Your car ran great today. It really does have rumble. U.J.

It should run 11.4's most of the year. I only went from 3.73 to 3.90.Originally Posted by Rio94gt
Yeah it has rumble but to bad it doesn't have that chick in the back seat.I've got a '60 Thunderbird that lays down those kind of numbers! See ya at the track! Just kidding... Your car ran great today. It really does have rumble. U.J.
When we gonna build that FE motor to run like that.
Balaska 347 I saw you at the bottom of your drive way yesterday. nice ride. About 645
Yeah I was just getting back from Hybrid. Thanks
It should rumble MORE if you had that chick in the back seat. About the FE Motor. Here's a quote from another FE guy...
"I always thought the 390 was a bullet proof engine. I've never had any trouble.
They did have FE oiling problems early on but I think it was in the 352 and 360 and it was corrected when the 390 came out in '61. Also, I believe the 300 HP was rated at the wheels which is what they always did in them days so it would have been around 400 at the crank.
Another thing I've heard is The absolute worst head used on a F.E. of any year flows better than either the popular 1969 351-W, 4-V HEAD or the NEW GT-40 Head."
Anybody wanna weigh in on this? I will relay the messages.
Yeah the 351W did have junk heads on them back in the day thats why the 351C was desired. Until they made aftermarket heads for the 351W. I don't think they rated the HP at the wheels back in the 60's but I don't know. Lets put in on the dyno.
What? Do you want to see the Wide White Walls fly off? LOL! If I had the original '68 Mustang that the motor came out of, I'd take it there.
