Default Who's got an FE block?

I need a block that will clean at 30, or a 428 block that is sound. I don't need big inches but want to run my 428 crank. A mirror 105 would be great. My 105 I have now will go .040. but pistons seem to be tough to find. Of course I'd take a set of 4.090 pistons for the 428 stroke.

100 miles+ - S F Bay area.

John check and see what 170 lbs would cost from 35634

I think the block would weight 150 plus crate.

Dwight, Now we know where all of the old FE's are going. Is Ford Racing planning a come back and you're trying to corner the market?

Rick, what size tires do you need? I have a garage full!

I looked at the person in the picture when I was posting it and I don't know who that is.
Maybe the wife of one of my buddies.

After seeing your pics, I don't feel so bad now. I think I've got 5 390's on the rack now, and only 2 FE powered cars

Hi
I have a 66 428 just out from the machine shop. I have bought over $3,000 worth of part's for it and a guy just offered me to much for my 57 Ford custom I was going to put it in so I sold the 57.
I might sell it if any one is interested. It is .30 over with standard size's on crank and rod's.
Located in Oklahoma.
Greg
