another find??

I was getting ahold of a 331ft(?) for the block and nodular crank and high capacity oil pan- it was in a f600(?) bad memory. But a future project for a '58 ranchero i want to own someday- or a highboy to go with my '77 150 4x4.

Anyway it shoes up and it has a 390 tag on it and a 4v factory intake- low rise-with the high capacity pan. It was running but has some issues (oil consumption) but I found out about a nice '74 high boy in good condition with 78k original for 1500 or offer. Has a 390 and I'm freaking and looking for $1500.

xmas season and the kids need shoes

a pre 66 390 is better than the later ones imo.

higher nickle content? There is a lot to know about the fe motor- it's probably the most complicated motor in terms of changes etc.
