who else on the hamb has an fe let's see?

Let's see, I have a 427 M.R. in my '39, a factory 69 Fairlane 428SCJ w/ drag package, a 361 Edsel and a 406 of father's

 

1968 428 Police Interceptor

 

...here's a 428 in my 1956 mainline. I had a built 406 (3x2's) in it for years, but that motor proved to be too cantankerous for the street. The 428 4-speed with Lincoln Versailles rear end get 16 mpg at any speed you'd want to run on the highway.

 

Here's on we put in a '32 coupe...................There are at least five more FE motors around here somewere.

 

Wow I did not know they made a 6x2 tells you how much I know about FE.

 

That thing is bad ass...

 

my car is getting one,,, should be in running by spring if things go right ]

 

where is mt GF when I need her
pics of covers please

 

I think i just found an addition to my christmas list

 

Here are some of my intakes. I've added a "few" since this photo. Got stiffed on a dual quad today however.


Drove 280 miles (one way) to deliver some parts to Wizard47, that part went great. Called to pick up the 2X4 and he said he'd sold it to someone else and "lost my cell #"

Oh well movin/on

 

Heres a couple.Two 390's,one in my street rod & one in my dolls 63 t/bird.I pulled a sbc from the roadster & put in a fe 7 years ago & even used the sbc engine mounts,made the swap real easy.Im starting to collect intakes as well with a six carb being the holly grail.Found a twin 4 intake up in the country for the bird so all going well,ready for next year.Also will get started on my 30 tudor with an fe,,deadbeat

 

A factory FORD FE highriser blower manifold now thats pure FE porn!

 

I'll be putting this 61 FE in my 34 Pick'em up. After she gets freshened up and tri-power.

 

So which ones are for sale?

 

Okay,since this is an FE thread,maybe I can get some help here. Anyone have the accessory mounts(i.e. alternator mounts and spacer w/hardware,power steering mounts w/hardware), power steering pump,and pulleys(crank pulleys,water pump pulleys,alt. pulleys,and power steering pulleys) from a '66 or '67 390 FE? I'm looking for this stuff and,for the most part,have had no like finding anything. I need this stuff to get my motor to a point that I can fire it up.

 

There are alot of guys selling fe brackets etc on ebay that is where I would start, try a seller sohcem427....Craig

 

Already searched,can't find half the stuff I'm looking for.

 

Looked him up,and currently he's got nothing for sale

 

Send him a message through ebay! He maybe able to help....

 

You actually race that relic?

Haha..just messin' with ya Mark! Tell Pat, Ken and the rest of the crew I said Hi.

My FE is currently at Speed O Motive getting punched and stroked out to a 445. Soon to be reunited with my '66 Galaxie.

 

Ford flash Back
I hate to be a stinker but those SBFs wich won LeMans were 289s not 302s. They were turning 11000 RPM down the straight. Lets see a SBC do that for 24 hours !!!!

 

What does FE stand for, you ask?
Fu#$&ng Expensive!

 

Ford won Le Mans in 1966 & 1967 with the FE. 1968 & 1969 were Mk1 small block 289 Windsor cars.

 

2 FE's, a 352 in there right now and a hopped up 390 with tripower soon to find it's way down there. Merry christmas

 

I am building a FE for my 66 Mustang S/FX project. I am using a 391 crank out of the big trucks and offset grinding it to BBC rod journal diameter for a 4 in. stroke. These cranks are steel and have a larger snout than stock. The block I am using is a 1961 hi-perf block aka factory tri-power. They have the provisions for cross bolt mains. The block will have the main caps added and turned into a real side-oiler, with oil lines running from the oil filter adapter to the center mains through hollow bolts. I am filling the block and boring it .075 over to end up with 427 cubic inches. I am narrowing a set of 6.535 BBC aluminum rods to fit the crank and having custom pistons made. Up top will be a set of aluminum Edelbrock heads topped by a 6-71 BDS blower with a 2 port Hilborn injector on Alky. I have the M/T front cover to run my injector pump and early M/T valve covers for it. Also will run a vertex mag that I have for it. Still need to send it out to have an offset drive added to clear the blower. It will run a custom ground roller cam to make the valves pop. It should make 850 horse on an easy tune up and 950-1000 if I really wanted to lean on it. I found most of the neat M/T parts on Ebay and some of the others here and there. A funny thing about the M/T front cover is it has the big opening for the larger 391 crank snout. M/T ran the fe engine clear through 1970 in Top Fuel and Fuel Funny cars. I am guessing he used the steel truck cranks and had them welded up for strokers, probably made 480+ c.i. out of the 427 and had the larger snout for strength with the blower. That is my reasoning for using one. When I get closer to getting it done and have it mocked up I will post some pictures.

 

The same car won LeMans 1968 & 1969 Chassis No 1075 it was powered by a 302 with Gurney Weslake Heads (source GT40 An Individual History & Race Record by Ronnie Spain) its the definitive book on every GT40 built in the 60s.

 

Here are my 2 FEs, a 62 Q Code Club Victoria, 406 with 3 deuces and a Warner T10 The other is a 428 with Edelbrock CJ heads, 3 deuces which is in a 67 Galaxie and a Super T10

 

Thanks for the correction Wreckingball.

 

Nope.....FEar Me

 

390 Merc very nice. I am restoring a '60 Starliner. I hope my FE looks as good as your motors.
