    hey anyone ever put an fe (390-428) in a49-51 ford? i really have a love for the old motors and thinking of trying this looking for some advice.
     
  2. Did one about 40 yrs ago. Firewall was recessed already from the last guy so it wasn't bad, Put a 390 4 spd in it from a 66 cyclone. Think i cut and boxed the frt xmember for the pan which was easy. Car hauled some serious ass to.

    Sounds like a pretty cool project. Who'd ever suspect an FE in a shoebox? Subscribed just to see what happens.
     
  5. Pull up an "FE Shoebox" search on here and you will get more info and opinions.
