72 green explorer special

[96 jag ranger]

My truck is a duplicate of the same truck at cj pony for 72 mallard green on the bottom seapine on top with the sport custom interior it has a 67 410 that needs the top end but back on but I've been told because it's a 410 that work is different than a 390 so it sits not being repaired I've been told it would cost 3000.00 to have someone come over and fix it in my driveway.i don't have those skills.

It's an FE. The top end is the same 352 through 428. Buy a book from Amazon on building Ford FE Engines. Where are you located?

[DuckRyder]

Agree, and what makes you think it is a 410?

[96 jag ranger]

The stroke is 3.984 the bore is 4.090 measurements that's not a 390 the block casting date is 7m7 crank iu that is the information at the oil filter adapter the information at the right side of the block is c7mea it looks like it's a police interceptor .it has the interceptor iron intake

I live in chloride Arizona

[96 jag ranger]

It takes a ft dist body that fits the intake I built one from junk parts hope it works

[96 jag ranger]

With the quarter inch oil pump shaft

[96 jag ranger]

The fact that it is explorer special in green is just a night mare I should not have bought it

[96 jag ranger]

I also have to order custom head gasket s because 390 gasket s are too small and 4.165 gasket s are too big so now that adds another problem.

Fel Pro 1020 is 4.4 it’ll work fine.

Buy Steve Christ book then Barry’s book. If you’ve got torque wrench, a set of sockets, can read you can do it. There is absolutely nothing at all special about a 410…

it’s forty over do you know who built it?

[DisneysPatB]

Careful Robert, don't get sucked in.

[96 jag ranger]

No I don't know who built it that's all I know

[96 jag ranger]

So where can I get the right head gasket s I'm not trying to be a pita just being cautious

[96 jag ranger]

Thanks for the headgasket info

[96 jag ranger]

So because the bore is 4.090 doesn't that make the head gasket 4.100 just asking a question the head gasket you said is 4.400
