hi!

i think, i spended about 2000 $ on parts + working time, which I´ve done myself!

the car goes on europe´s biggest vintage car show next week! after that the car will go on a dynotest run! the engine runs with a new 750cfm Summit carb this time!

i will let you know, how much torque and power this enigne produces! ;-)

Kind Regards,

[malibulaba]

thanks very much!

for a ford fe webside, there is a ford fe internet forum ! i don´t know the webside now!

i used only books:

"how to rebuild your Ford Big block"

"ford performance"

"engine blueprinting"

i would say, that these books are important for an engine rebuild!

there are all information, you need!

good luck!

hi!

not yet!

but it will be done in near future!

thanks for your interest!

hello!

thanks!

the old manifolds were on the engine only for the test run!

now this engine is running in a 67th ford mustang, which was converted into a 68th mustang fastback in "bullitt" style!

we have selfmade a pair of stainless steel headers for this engine! it runs pretty well and has a very nice sound!!!

the car, which was completely restored, drives very save and fast!!! :) it makes fun!

hey i have a 361 in my edsel im gonna rebuild if i may ask how much did all that cost 4 yours? i only have $2,200 to rebuild mine you think that will be enough. it does run now doesnt knock just needs a real good freshing up.

Ford Motor Company actually for some reason never designated their engines as big or small blocks it is actually considered to be a medium block, but to answer your question the 361 mounts to the larger transmission so yes it is a medium/large block.

[bad66chevelles]

you know if a ford 361 is a bigblock i think it is but not sure?
