If you are looking for a puller build a 428 the 390 block will punch out big enough and the rods, pistons and crank are availible through several sorces. If you want raw excelleration build a 390, 406 or (if you can afford it) a 427. I have a combonation for a 390 to 427 convertion but it requires sleeves and a mechenist you really trust. The 406 (which I have) will scare you my 428 didn't compare as far as out of the hole excelleration. The 427 (which I have) is bad to the bone, nothing to it to, but it is a rare side oiler with CROSS BOLT MAINS and I am saving it for something special.

I do not support this idea if a person wants a 390 there are plenty of them to be had; I suggested the use of a 352 HiPro crank and rod as they fit the 360 and will enable it to turn 6500 RPM. The 360 was a gas crunch engine and Ford's attempt to lighten up the FE weakened the crank and rods to the point that the constant abuse of any performance at all would cause the crank to break in front of the second main from the back or #4 I believe and provided the crank survived the rods had a nasty habit of turning loose of pistons at the rist pins. If a rod turns loose at the pin the ammount of mass swinging and the leangth of it will break the block through the web (I have seen this happen.

Took my truck out of the garage for the first time in six months yesterday (gotta love winter!) and my shoulders still ache from trying to steer it! I'm pretty sure the kingpins need to be greased, but not real sure how to do it. Is there a nozzle I can fit a grease gun to and if so, what do I use to grease it with? I know this is probably a no-brainer, but I bought the wee beast so I guess I'd better start learning how to do the easy stuff first!

I just use a standard grease gun with high temp rated grease (disk break bearing grease)- that area can get quite hot with alot of heavy braking. I'm probably overboard to use the high tempstuff but it doesn't hurt. Just put a couple of squeeze on the handle of the grease gun per nipple. Also, you may want to check the rubber coupling on the steering column. Sometimes that can be at fault - though the usually symptom there is sloppy steering. -Ken Payne 1967 Ford F100 Custom Cab, 390 FE V8 List maintainer, send me comments and suggestions.
