It's a family friend, a guy a few years older than me. His dad recently died (one who gave me the 74 F250 I put a 4.6 in). The dad built a "buggy" of sorts and the son wants to restore it and have the engine rebuilt. For what it is and the severely limited use it will see, I didn't want to waste a good 390 crankshaft and set of rods......

To be continued....
I want some buggy pics as well!

It's nothing special but the dang engine outruns the tachometer!

For a comparison, my dad was curious what the cranking compression is compared to a regular 360. At this elevation, 95 PSI is the max for a healthy stock 360 and a lot of the goid running ones are in the 85 PSI range. After 30 minutes or so of runtime, this one is at 135 with the other spark plugs installed (so not cranking incredibly fast). I think it's a winner!
