I made this vid cause Proleator said my engine couldn't turn these tires. But since I have it you might like to see it.
It is short because these are expensive a$$ tires. Enjoy!

now lets see pro smoke them boggers.

 

I have a 396cid FE .He has a 500+cid 460 he should be able too.

 

the discreption in his gallery says hes got a 513 but still he should still be able to smoke em, i have seen videos of his truck slingin a blazer around like a toy but i just wanted to see if we could get him to do it.

 

Sounds like a pretty nice sounding 396. Wish i had it in my pickup. I know alot of people think FE's are boat anchors but for the cubic inches they can be a hell of a motor.

 

Yeah, I am happy with my FE! I don't think I will need anything bigger. Even with the 232 @ 0.05. cam it pulls off idle and has enough top end for me. Thanks for the complaments.

 

i love my 390 i have never driven anything with a 460 in it but theirs dont sound like tractors at low rpm .

 

Yeah, There is nothing like aFE! My 396 is as light as a 351W small block and makes more power with less cam.

 

Yeah I think a FE weighs like 100 or 150 pounds lighter than a 460 if i can remember right. They have there own unique sound to. Gotta love it!!

 

Never really thought about it before, but the FE's really do have thier own unique sound, don't they? My mild 901 cammed 390 always gets passengers yelling "SHIFT". The old FE won't go over 4500, but 3500 sounds like a much heavier cammed engine running 5500 and 4500 sounds like 7000. It pulls like it too. These engines are torque monsters. My 7500 lb highboy will easilyy spin 35" BFG's in third on dry pavement getting on the freeway. That's not dropping the clutch either. 4th gets loose in the rain.

 

Randy it sounds like you were having a lot of fun peeling off money...

Love the sound of an FE..

Cheater!!!! No fair doing it in a water box!

Just kidding. That's got to be a pretty stout 390 to turn them big ol' 49s like that. Congrats.

By the way, what rear gears do you have in it?

-Scouder

 

LOL, I have 5.13 gears and a Detroit. If the tires werent so damn expensive I would have done a much longer burnout and really let the engine scream.

 

AGAIN?!?!?!?

If you two didn't live so far apart I would think you were an old married couple. LOL

Then again, I do like watching the vids you post. Keep up the good work!

 

he power braked it too!!! pulled the bed off to get it good and light..... real men just grab 3rd and let em fry right scouder? JK sounds good! i guess this puts the ball in pro's court then... we'll be waiting...
