Thread: New Project 63 Thunderbird!

Tweet

Hello all,
Sorry no replys this week as I have been swamped with work (No work, no Tbird) I found on Craigslist a 68 390 out of a galaxy for $200. I went and picked it up Monday night. He threw in a stock 4 barrel intake too. (weighs about 300 pounds!) Engine spins freely. Could not beat the price even if I don't use it. (Pictures below) How can I verify the year and CID of this beast?(I forgot how big these engines are, GEEZ) Any info would be great!

That 302 build looks like a screamer! Really gets the wheels turning in my head for sure. There is no way that combo would not make a great engine for the Bird to be sure. hmm....

I love the 4.6 Ford Mod motors. As dad said I had a 2003 Mach1 Mustang with the 4.6L DOHC engine (AWESOME KAR KRAFT PICS BY THE WAY, I want to put the blown version of that engine in a Model A sedan project I have dreamt up in my head someday) Same Kar Kraft Companies that built the Boss 429 Mustangs in the late 60's. My Mach one was a screamer right off the show room floor.

Pops is right about being "tired" a bit from spending $$$ on cars. I enjoy going to the shop and even just sitting on a stool staring at the next step on the T Bird (firing up the T every once in a while to hear the rumpy rump )
Let me know your thoughts on the 390 I found. Thanks for all the input! Don Jr
