Could you flip the picture right side up so we can get a better look at it?

If you can't even post a picture correctly why would anyone buy an engine from you that you "might" have built?? Evidently your attention to detail is lacking...

Why is the oil pan off of it on the dyno?

Tough crowd. ..... Somewhere in the world, there is a Pro Street Edsel just waiting for that engine.

I guess guys are just leery of "first posters" who offer something for sale....
And I'm curious to see an engine on the dyno with the oil pan laying on the dyno cart....not that we don't have to change gaskets sometimes or even dial in an oil pump....it happens.....but I'd like to know if it was something like this, or they were trying to stuff parts back into the block.

'1965 Ford Edsel 390 Cubic Inch' - Edsels were last produced in 1959 (1960 models), and FE engines were never installed
'Brand new motor broken in for the first time' - so, this 1965 block sat around for nearly 50 years before somebody decided to build it?
Why is this posted in the 'AC Cobra' forum, rather than under Parts for Sale Classifieds ( PhotoPost Classifieds - - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds |

It's likely the OP may not be fully familiar with Ford big block terminology. Virtually no one refers to these engines as other than FE, which is an acronym for Ford Edsel. This according to multiple sources. There are other folks who don't subscribe to this label.

Yes, I know we would expect a guy to introduce himself (though I don't think I did on my first post  ), but if he doesn't do that and isn't quite up on the forum 'etiquette', shouldn't we cut him a little slack with his first post? He might continue on to be a valued contributor....or we might have just scared him away.
Cheers,
Glen |

Correction: Further digging has turned up references to the 332 & 361 CI variants of the FE being installed in Edsels. It's possible the 361 Edsel installation was actually the first FE engine installed in a production automobile. |
