I'm sure there's power in there for the finding. The original owner never bothered and I can't fit it in until the spring - but I'm definitely headed there.

That's what I will be doing in the spring as well. Can't wait! :D |

A 427FE thread has more action on the 429/460 forum than the 385 series do.:eek:

I noticed that too. Pretty funny, although maybe not for the 385 guys. |

I feel so nekkid having all that stuff on the web. :)
BTW, the "500HP!!!" claims are used-car salesman smoke. The dyno sheet shows a peak just over 440. The original owner has no idea where the guy got the 500 figure. I think "around 500 HP" is a meaningless yack-marker in this game. |

Maybe not. But the 385 folks are all out in their garages wondering how to make the engine fit. :D :D :D |

Gotta retract that,:mad: carbs arrived and are not as represented and they are going back to the seller. So I am still in the market for a deal on a set of BJ/BKs. Sorry for the thread-jack. |

When I received my new in the box BJ/BKs they said 550 in the paper work.

Those are sold, but I am watching it. I will ultimately wind up having to buy a new set, I was just hoping to find a set "lying around." |

One of the guys over in fordfe.com had an "unadvertised" used set they were willing to part with several months ago. For the life of me I can't remember who it was. I'd try putting a WTB over in their classified section and see if you get any bites.
The new carbs are $1050 a set.. I've heard several horror stories from different people about the re-pops though. |
