I just dropped a rebuilt 390 FE into my 68 Mercury Cyclone GT. Plan to wrap it all up (including Cherry Bombs I’ve already purchased) between Christmas and New Years. It should be a monster.
“...It should be a monster....”
It will indeed, and when you stomp that gas peddle and get slammed back into the seat, and you get that rush of adrenaline, remember your ol’ Friendly Neighborhood NFHale over and say “This one’s for you, old boy...” as you leave a streak of burnt rubber tracks on the asphalt...
I seriously miss that thrill. Can’t afford a muscle car these days... but it was great to be a kid in the late 70s early 80s with all of that cheap Detroit and Dearborn muscle around...
