so my project is a 59 ford f100 and i was planning on building a 300 horse 292 for it but then i got a brilliant idea. My brilliant idea is to stretch it 24 inches with suicide back doors to make a sort of ext cab. This will obviously require a custom frame and lots of work. This would also add weight and after all im 19 and want this thing to have some go power. So then i thought well i have that 390 block out in storage so ill just build it up and stick it in there. So im afraid i have to confess that i will be replacing the Y-block with an FE. Don't worry tho im still planning on keeping the y-block and building it to go in a open motored hot rod sort of deal where the beauty of this engine can be seen.
