Sorry Tony, I know my Fords well & know 390FE stands for Ford Edsel... and went straight to the source for confirmation:

Sorry Tony, I know my Fords well & know 390FE stands for Ford Edsel... and went straight to the source for confirmation:

"FE" is an acronym for 'Ford-Edsel'[1]. Versions designed for use in trucks and school buses were known as "FT", an acronym for 'Ford-Truck', and differed primarily by having steel (instead of nodular iron) crankshafts, larger crank snouts and different distributors.

Well in case you're ever in need, I have a complete spare 390FE in the shop on a stand. My 390 has been very dependable... only problem is keeping oil in it... damn rear main leaks & they're NOT an easy repair!

P.S. Do you know what the FE stands for in a 390FE?........wait for it......... Ford Edsel....... no shit

Actually its Ford Engine....not to burst a bubble.

Also, here is a write up about some beasts you can build outta an FE motor.

Regarding that badge on your bird. It's something you do NOT_SEE everyday!

[StrayCat]

I don't know about that yet, but i think it's a vac/elec mix.

Found the front end issue. Inner and outter tie rods on both sides. But goddamn is it a clean car.

This year the one that had everything running off of the engines vacuum? I had a 62 Lincoln and had a previous owner pull all that out in one yank. This was before the internet so finding a diagram to where everything went was a nightmare. I also remember the wipers being run off of the power steering pump too. You turn them on high and they would push 3' of show off your windshield if needed.

[StrayCat]

Yeah, There's a few things I need to do to it before I really drive it much, and the arguement with the wife over how much I'm allowed to spend on it in one wave has already entered it's preliminary stages....><

[Psychoholic]

That is one of the nicest cars you've owned in a long time.

Need to see it in person

[StrayCat]

Front grill was missing something....

well, that would keep people away from it for sure...lol

Now all you need are SS hubcaps and you can really have a "master racer"
