390 in Starliner

Image
Picture is the rebuilt 1964 390 now in the 1960 Ford Starliner. the 64's are slightly different than the 60's engine and transmissions. Problems encountered: 64 Transmission shifter and kick down arms are different than the 60's. Had to fabricate a slide bar on the 60 linkage for the shift down lever and shorten the shifting linkage. The new Sanderson headers hit the front cross members on the drivers side had to shim up the motor 5/8" to gain clearance. New headers hit brake lines had to fabricate new brackets and re bend brake lines You can see in picture there is a new after market damper on the engine as the original damper will not accept the new pulleys. These are the pulleys from the serpentine belt system. 4. The Serpentine belt system doesn't allow the use of stock fan. An electric fan had to be mounted on grill side of radiator as the pulley system took all the room between radiator and front of engine.
