I have the truck version of the 360 fe ,i would like to rebuild this beast
but im having hard time finding parts for this 360 ft
other than crank ,waterpump, are the rest of the internals the same as a 360/390
was wondering if i could use a 390 rebuild kit in this truck engine
thanks

 

The 361 FT is going to have different pistons, and FTs are external balance like the 410/428. The pistons could even be 4 ring.

Most gaskets will work in the kit, ditto bearings.

You should be able to find 361FT-specific kits, like this one:

Ford V-8 361-5.9L Engine Rebuild Kits, 1964-1978

I would confirm before buying that it is FT, not a "fits all", which never do...
