went to a city impound auction yesterday and spotted this 68 and decided i need to own it,got it reasonable and drove it home,today i changed out the windshield and next is the body, has a big block 3 speed,here's a few pics
I was thinking 400 as well. I am getting ready to put a 460 in my truck. Been shopping for the perches and know those aren't it. Those look like the ones in my truck holding up a 302.
I don't know a lot but I do know I owned a 390 in a 69 and the short water line running from the water pump straight to the intake or thermostat (the one painted blue)was just the same on my 390.
just went and looked at my 460 and the same water line is there so guess that didn't help much. Good score though.Gangstakr is a member of these forums, He could get you a grill.
Is that engine mounted solid? Looks like there is no rubber between the engine and perch in the pic of the left side. If so it could be a 460 that someone put on either FE or Windsor perches. Not enough room to use a mount with those perches and a 460.
yes the motor mounts are solid,don't give at all,lol its got a plate and bolted to the perch,mechanic friend said it was either a 429 or 460,said the first number on where ever he looked was DO so said it was a 70 block, i really don't know as i'm a 300 6 guy,hehe,sure runs good,working on the few rust spots and dings and then going to roll some flat black on it,thats about all i'm going to do to it besides help the brakes some,oh by the way the numbers on the truck says it had a 360
here's the first coat of flat black,thought i had some headlight rings for it but couldn't find any at my brothers yard,anyone have a set, staying with the steel grill,
