360's are frequently built into 390's by swapping the crank/rods/pistons. Everything else is the same.......

In fact, most 360's "magically" become 390's on sale day.

$350 for a salvage yard engine is not bad. The FE weighs enough to be worth near that in scrap value......

 

RW - Where ya been? Good to see you on.

 

Just had an issue with the net connection. Line got cut down the road during a water main repair. Was only offline for a bit over 48hrs......

 

Glad you are back. Glad you and JW are chiming in on the FE questions. I'm outta my league on them.

 

it turns out fuel pump carb needs rebuilt and new head gasgets

 

Lots cheaper than an engine.

 

Alice,

Keep us updated on the repairs. Glad it's not a complete engine replacement!!

 

I will keep you all updated. Trying to come up with $$$ for parts now. Not easy living on disability.

 

Know that feeling......
