1969 Engine Rebuild kit recomendations
Howdy,
I thinking of re building my 1969 engine, and looking for input.
Any recommendations of certain rebuild kits?
Any thoughts of better/cheap engines that I might alternative switch out?
Thanks!

Its a Ford V-8 360, 5.9l. 1968........ I posted the wrong year on this thread name, its a 1968.
The engine runs fine right now. Pretty much all the gaskets leak, and she burns a bit of oil for sure.
Does anyone have experience rebuilding these? Is it as straight forward as I think it'll be.
Thanks!

I would suggest getting the book on rebuilding FE engines.
1)
2)
I have both and they are great. There are things that can be done to improve these engines and the tips are in these books.
And here is the best place for FE parts.

I rebuilt my 360 into a 390 in my garage. I had the block work done at a machine shop and did all the assembly myself. It does take some specific tools and a good understanding of mechanics but is very doable in my opinion.
Good luck with your project.

#1 YES GET THE BOOKS
I built my 390 myself , found a 1967 Tbird 390 donor local .
If you have rebuilt a motor before and have the tools yes you can do it yourself .
FE motors are a little pricey to rebuild compared to a small block etc
