I'm back...bang!

Well months back, I lost my log in info and never bothered going through the process of retrieving it...I figured now would be a good time though.
Over the past couple months I have been swapping in a 390 from a '68 Mustang into my '65 F100. Finally got everything together today, took it for a test drive, and blew chunks through the oil pan. Looks like I'm doing another complete tear down.
Maybe this is my way of saying I have yet another project, and involving the FTE community will make it seem more of an adventure and less of a painful tear down for an engine with 2 miles on the clock by me.

I will be posting another thread regarding an oil burning issue I was trying to diagnose with the engine when it blew shortly. Any feedback to that would be much appreciated.

Cheers y'all, good to be back
