Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!

Getting ready to unload our mid-century couch after bringing it back from the upholsterer where it was completely redone. Even my long-bed won't quite hold it with the tailgate up. :-) I kind of like how the truck color complements the couch colors. Or vice versa.

Going to drop off an engine for another truck in my truck.

Did a part swap for a nice FE390 for a Blueprint 383 roller.

Fe is going in a 60's F truck, 383 is going in my truck.

I have the stock 255hp 350 4 bolt, it will be going in the shed, its in really nice condition, just not super powerful.

Local rod shop was looking for a good FE block/engine, so we did a deal of sorts.

They are the only crate engine that I can get out here with a good warranty.
Nice quality parts, scat crank and rods, blueprint heads, everything other than the block is new.
Seem like decent value compared to building one out here.

I heard one running yesterday that had been put into a sedan, 400 auto behind it with 2200 stall.
Sounded great, idled at 900, had decent vacuum and all round was nice, it was a brand new engine in 35 deg c ambient temp and it was happy to idle, start etc. They are pretty mild, but should be a nice truck engine.

Post 383 Engine

Please detail exactly what 'good vacuum' is, I'm not sure many here understand but I certainly do and am curious .

TIA,

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!

I consider good vacuum anything in double numbers, this engine had 11 to 12 in Hg at idle, which is enough for brakes to work and not give drive ability issues.

Big duration and long overlap cams will kill the vacuum and other methods of boosting the brakes may be required.

What motor did you end up getting and what are you taking out?

Pulled a 327. Bought a 350 crate. It is the stock base engine.

Post Engine Vacuum

Understood ;

You said it idles smoothly @ 900RPM's so I was expecting at least 15" HG @ idle, a big overlapping cam isn't goilg to idle smoothly @ 900RPM .

? Do they make electric high volume vacuum pumps ? . I know they have engine powered ones for Diesel engines......
