Too much $$$, it`s time to retire that car and get back to your F100, $2300 would go a long way on it.

but its still a 390, it would make a good back up motor. if i had to choose one with valve covers, a 390'd be it.

So have you ever thought about seriously putting a 390 in there? That would be alot nicer then a 302!

The 302/C4 is in there now but I`ll see what I have to change over for the FE. It`s use it or lose it, if it sits too long it`ll seize up or the rings end up being stuck.
