Thread: Galaxie 500 2V 390

Tweet

Most any of the full sized Ford, Mercury, or Lincoln from the 60's, the majority of them came with an FE engine. Ford pickups had an FE engine available from the 60's til about '76.... A mid sixties shortbox halfton would make a very nice home for it!!!!

Can't tell you much on the FMX's, I usually go with a 4 speed behind an FE. The extra gear sure does make it easy to keep the engine in it's peak torque range....

As for the t-bird, either a Big Bock or a Windsor would be an easy install. All the parts are available aftermarket.... Headers, oil pan, etc.

I'll try the 390 in the bird. If I dont like the feel of it in the bird, i'll just put it into something else, maybe a 84-85 crown victoria. I guess I'll use the FMX until its cooked, I dont know anything about them. If thats even what it is. I was looking forward to installing a shift kit but I havent found anything for the FMX transmission.
