Came across a 390 today...what can i do to it?

[rch10007]

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!

hard to find aftermarket support parts are pricey plus side mains are inside the block

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.

windsor>cleveland, don't believe a word gearhead has to say.

clevor's are making a strong comeback that will be the next motor i build

Those 390's are tuff but heavy and expensive to build....408w FTW

Unfortunately scrap prices are down. My first choice.
