A while back i bought a rebuilt 390FE for my 1969 F250. Swapped it in and for the most part it’s been fine. the old engine was leaking pretty bad, mis-firing, poor compression.
What should i do with it? sell as-is? rebuild it myself? turn it into lawn art? FE’s aren’t exactly cheap to rebuild, and my closest shop for any machine work is 2.5hrs away.
I’d probably sell it. There is undoubtedly someone with a project truck looking for a deal on one of those.
Might be fun to rebuild but I’d imagine it’ll be in the way more than anything.
second the selling, someone wants that engine
Crash up derby it. 👷🏼♀️
Sell it and set the money aside for the next thing that needs replacement/repair. A '69, eh? Nice.
If you’ve got the room, get it rebuilt at your leisure and keep it as a spare.
