rch10007 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 So, I'm out shooting prairie dogs today and come across an old 1975 Ford F250 Ranger. I do a little research and come to find out that I can not only have the truck for free but it has a 390 in it! Now, I know there are some Mustang fanatics here and that's what I would want to put the motor in, so give me some ideas of what to do with the motor as it would go into a nice notch. Should I build it for na, turbo, twins even? Will this motor drop into any mustang without heavy mods? I know nothing of the 390 and how to stuff one in a mustang. Give me some ideas and lets build this damn thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qtr_pndr Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 hard to find aftermarket support parts are pricey plus side mains are inside the block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rch10007 Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 So you think maybe a clevor is more in order? I have a 351W out here at the ranch too, but it's still being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
