It LIVES Again!!!

It's back, and it's baaaad!
After a piston shot through my 351C block, Dave Williams and John Myrick encouraged me to explore the wonderful world of FE power. I was going to use a 390 out of a Mercury Monerey, but in my haste to do power upgrades, I destroyed the camshaft bearings. So, without hesitating (okay, I hemmed and hawed for a bit) I commissioned a stroker motor from Dave Williams

Dave used a FT block from a Garbage Truck, and bored it to fit Cheverolet pistons and Chrysler Slant 6 rods, and stroked my 390 crankshaft to just under 4 inches. Calculated displacement is 443CI, so we tend to call it the "Big Three Four-Fourty-Three" for fun. I added Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads, intake manifold, and camshaft with a 750CFM Holley 4100 carburator, a Purolator electric fuel pump, remote oil filter, Duraspark distributor with Crane Hi-6 brains and Crane PS-91 coil. Exhaust passes through ceramic coated Headdman headders and Midas turbo mufflers. The radiator is Mercury Monerey and so is the C-6 transmission and the 9" 2.75:1 pumpkin.

Suspension and drivetrain additions include Mercury Monarch 11" rotors, 1" lowered upper control arms, 1" front anti-sway bar, aluminum driveshaft, 9" Lincoln Versailles rear with vented rotors, Sumitomo P215/60-15 radials on Ford slotted aluminum wheels, 620lb 1" lowered front springs, 180lb 1" lowered rear springs. Brake lines are "upgraded". The front export brace has been added.
