FE 390 Engine on Craigslist

If I was closer, I would be so tempted to get this for $100.00

And here is an interesting truck that is not far from me. I must resist the tempation... must resist tempation...

The old boy with the 390 should have flipped the head over and looked at the valves

Both those trucks posted look like good deals, if I didn't already have an old work truck, I'd be tempted myself...then again the iwfe would bring back out of temptation...

Wonder if a 390 will fit in my Ranger? Well, of course with enough money anything will fit. Don't really have a use for it, but it is not a bad deal for $100. However, should I be tempted, I would just spend half the money and buy the 400 sitting at Mike's

Haha, I'm the one selling the 390. I looked at the valves, and they all looked fine.

I don't need the motor and don't want to spend the money on the gaskets to put it back together and have it sit in the garage forever.
Somebody please buy it, so I don't get temped to do that!

I have no use for it unfortunately. My only Ford is the Ranger, and it is getting a turbo 2.3, not a monster motor.

Good plan. I'm trying to find a daily driver PU so I can actually get work done on my 4x4, make it into a toy, not a work truck. Already have most everything bought, just need something else to drive now.
