    Put a motor back in it...............

    Sorry couldn't resist that one.

    I'm not a Ford guy so I'll leave that to the ones who are.

    Welcome to CHR.

    390's are pretty easy to come by and you can get some decent power out of them for a small investment plus parts are easy to find.

    Welcome to the boards there! How old are you since you said new "kid" here. There are a few of us that are younger here but not many, would be cool to have more.

    well ok i should've figured someone would have awise crack but what the heck right its all part of being the new "guy" on the block i guess and sorry to dissapoint anybody by saying kid but i was allways told your only as old as you feel and i feel like im 16 but in realality im 37 going on 16 so as far as the 390 goes i had one in there and ill just say 400 ponies wasnt enough to satisfy me thats why i yanked it for parts around here are scarce to make a 410 is what i wanted to do but instead i sold it and am looking at a 460 but i got to go check it out and ill keep u guys informed and hopefully ill get a picture of my ol ford to show you all here soon.

    Welcome Carbuff,,,,I also have an 89 F150,,it's a 4X4 ext cab, 300cube six,,,and it's one fine truck,,,but it does like some TLC now and again.
    As to your 64 Galaxie,,,another one of my old time favourites,,,,,,i'd suggest getting a 390 out of an old 1960'sThunderbird,,,or a 428 out of a 68 Thunderbird,,,,eats alot of gas,,but they sure are fun.

    Welcome, Carbuff. Always room for a few more Blue Oval Guys around here, we are terribly outnumbered. Hey, I used to drag race in Kearney, do they still have a track there???

    hey dave there sure do they will start racing in about 3 or 4 more weeks and its a blast, so any one else from around here in central nebraska, and while im thinking about it does anyone here ever seen a 460 with a power steering pump on the crankshaft in the same place you would find a harmonic balancer im beginning to think that this didnt come out of a lincoln and maybe it came out of a truck instead anyone know casting # on the block is c9ve-b.
