btw: I have a NOS in the original box 3 spoke red steering wheel that fits 1961/70 F100/250's.

If you (and you alone) are interested...the price will be very right.

I do not have the horn ring.
Very Interested Bill!!!!!! PM me Please. We will make it fit.

heres mine as of now. inner fenders and battery tray are at powder coating at the local high school. figured id let the kids learn something from it, plus they give a good price and usually do a good job with the help of the teacher. im getting ready to swap cabs so i lightened it up a bit. lol. makes it easyer to take to the dump. doors are maybe reusing. its just all in pieces. have to rewire the truck compleatly. the other cab and front clip is in paint then headed to line X after.

It went to the demolition derby in 1984! It was pretty well spent by then...It was my first car..$350 special and I drove the hell out it....well let's say no dirt field was safe in my presence.

The 1961/64 352 covers were painted blue and have F O R D on them.

1958/64 FE engines have rounded valve covers, a separate oil fill tube and cap.

1965/76 FE engines have pent roof shaped valve covers with holes for oil caps.

There is no separate oil fill tube on 1965/76 FE engines.

If you ever need to replace the thermostat, you'll discover that 1958/64 Fords used a larger in diameter thermostat than was used on 1965 and later FE's.

Ford used the term Interceptor for all 1958/67 FE engines...whether they were 332 2V's, 352 2V or 4V's, 390 2V's or 4V's, 406's, 410's, 427's or 428's.

T-Bird's were not available with the Police Interceptor engine...unless someone knew a Ford bigwig (or was a Ford bigwig) and had it installed.

What you might have is a 352 with Thunderbird valve covers on it, and the earlier intake manifold.

Or....the heads/valve covers are from a 1961/64 390 Bird, along with that intake manifold.

Or...?

Private sellers are clueless inre to engine sizes, and can lie worse than used car dealers.

On sale day...352 and 360 engines magically become 390's.

Nope its a 390 alright. my grandpa bought a 64 t bird with a 390 from a guy at work that just had the engine balanced. he bought it cause the 352 was knocking really bad. but anyways he pulled both engines. spruced the 390 up a bit with some paint and put it in the truck. this all happened when i was a year old. now i have it and it still runs strong. too strong for the crappy clutch in it. if it was anthing but a 390 id be peeved. but it is.
