Thread: New to 390 FE looking for good advice

Tweet

just so you know that FMX as stated above doesn't have much of an aftermarket when it comes to parts, but they are undoubtedly a very sturdy transmission, probably one of the toughest ford built.... definately use the tranny when you build the car unless you decide to put a manual in it.... in that case send me the tranny

Thanks for the info. Its good to know that the transmission is sturdy.

hello '65.
I've got two 65 parts cars and a 65 LTD hardtop(352) as well as a 66 2 door hardtop.. welcome to the club, it's an addiction.

You'll love your new car. I too am in the market for headers, if you find a great deal, give me a holler.

great advice hear, my first trist with the FE was my '65 F100, been hooked ever since.

Nice buy on the 65 Gal. I just picked up a 64 Merc. Montclair Marauder with the 390, so the info has been great. The main difference with the merc is it has the merc-o-matic transmission, anyone know about that one?

same thing as a cruise-o-matic just different name
