I have a rebuilt 390FE 30 over so about(397) Perfomer RPM intake compcams XE247. What should the intial timing be? w/out the vacume advance be. Is it possible that my carb could be too small and lean it out untill it dies? It is the stock ford carb from 1964. what would be the lowest it would idle? 1000? 1200? 900? this is my first experience building a non stock engine so any tips would be excellent!!
I'm not an FE guy, but 10-12 is a good starting place. I'd think an FE head would like 34-36 total in below 3000, just as a guess. With performance parts, the stock Ford carb may not be able to feed the correct amount of fuel, but you can drive it around some with it. If the lobe center on the cam is 110 or better, it should idle fine below 1000. Like 800 or so.
OK, so I am looking for help on what type of manual transmission to put in my 1965 F100 that will have a 390 FE. I am able to find many toploaders available for sale on facebook, craigslist, ebay, etc.. But there are different sizes and different ratios, different body sizes. What type will fit...
Can anyone tell me what th stock camshaft specs are for the 66 289 NON K-code engine? Ive got a C code and i would assume the C and A code cams are the same. Im looking at getting a new cam and am trying to compare the differences.
Thank you.

Good afternoon everyone,
I’m in a bind trying to find an electric fan for my Falcon and wanted to see if anyone has suggestions. It has a rebuilt ‘95 Mustang GT roller 302 engine with mild cam, new Griffin 2-row aluminum radiator, and new water pump.
I’m working with very limited space between...
