i hate these threads 390 in a A? pics?

I have a t-10 four gear for it....

 

FE= Ford Engine.

The misnomer is it stands for Ford-Edsel, which in my opinion sounds better, but it just shows the lack of engineer creativity in name one of fords greatest series of engines.

Nope, FE is the chemical symbol for Iron, of which there is a ton of in the damn intakes. Not so much in the blocks as the FE was the first family of engines to be m*** produced using thin wall casting techniques.

Ahh.... Old threads brought back to life by newbies....

Dragrcr50, Since it has been 7 years. Do you have finished pics of the car?

 

Well thank you Mr Rogers, for the chemistry lesson, but if a thread ends with wrong information, even if its 7 yrs old, would you want the correct information?

Who said it was wrong. I don't think it has ever been conclusively proven whether it stands for Ford Engine or Ford-Edsel. Even Wikipedia says it stands for Ford-Edsel and everything on Wikipedia is accurate....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_FE_engine

 

Oh yeah, i forgot you cant put anything on the internet that isn't true.

Every thing i have dug up, read in books ( not saying the author was correct) has called FE as Ford Engine.
Anyone know anybody that works / worked at Ford that would know for sure?

Anyway as long as it isn't the preverbal SBC RANT everything is gravy!

YOUR rant is true about Fords winning those races, which just goes to show how much dumb luck can play in life, or winning races.......

 

Can't believe this hasn't been posted on this zombie thread yet haha. Though honestly the op should be able to post a pic of his own by now

Same car but ain't it sweet. Fast too! This pic is from the 2012 KKOA Salina show.

 

Farm engine...

 

I shoulda guessed that one but it was new on me.

All you newbs should take note though.
FE = Ford/Edsel and MEL = Mercury/Edsel/Lincoln

 

hey guys Im building a 30 sedan with an ol Fe with a 3 speed,48 rear.Just gotta work out how to post up pics,,,,again

 

Saw this at a Show in Rockford IL.

 

^^I'm sure I saw this car in the readers write section of Hot Rod about 25 years ago!

 

Good to hear your going with a 390 ford instead of another boring small block chevy

 

FWIW, NO adapters are necessary for a successful engine to GOOD ****** match.

'68 heavy 3 speed Ford toploader ******, bolted to 332-427 stick bellhousing; small or large bolt pattern on bell, transmission case has both patterns. Transmission also comes in wide-and-close ratio gears.

Omit the side forks and plug the shaft bores...Drop a 9-bolt Jeep shift tower on top with big stick.

Same can be done with the 4 speed Ford Borg-Warner. (Jeep also had a direct fit shift tower for the 4 speed)

I really question the senseless prejudice toward these engines. It's obvious the 'haters' have no experience with them.

 

I hope your not referring to me. I have a 428 in my Falcon...

 

This bad little Farm Engine powered coupe carried the mail at the Drags last weekend...



-Abone.

 

Not to many things worse in my book than looking under the hood of a Ford and finding a SBC a dime a dozen

 

here's my 34 chevy 390 ford ,tripower .Toploader 4 speed car

 

If it's good enough for Carroll Shelby.....

 

managed to put one pic up,but now they fail to attach,any clues as to what im doing wrong?
