390

[Marine]

So I have a 66 Mustang, that my brother has in North Carolina, the 289 spun a bearing and was in the midst of a 302 swap. Well, my uncle has a 390 sitting around, with all the goodies. MSD 6AL ignition, Headers, Edelbrock intake and Carb, and he says I can have it, the best part is, he'll install it for me too!!

I cant believe my incredible luck. I'm going to try to fly out and spend a few days helping out, and I'll take pics. What kinda sucks is, I put in the 1" drop Shelby springs on the front, and now this FE is going to require stronger springs... Oh well. I also need subframe connectors and some type of rollcage. It's got a wonderful C4 and a ton of hot rod items already. I'm SOFA KING excited!!!!

Just wanted to share my news.

Thats a motor i havent heard of in a LOOOOOONG time. gl with that. Beast!

If you realy wanted to do it right, youd put that 390 in the mark.

Sounds like more than luck. Seems like your uncle is a top notch guy who wants to show his appreciation for all you've done. Congrats!

They are the swap masters!

Also you would need the Pro Motorsport variable rate springs. Can't go wrong, ask for Fred.

I love the 390, both my 65 Tbirds have it. The 390 is a beast. Enjoy!
