This is how much time I have to finish my 390 swap. Ugh. Need rain to stop.

You can do it! The first swap I ever did was in 1967, a 390 in place of my 292 in a 57 Fairlane. My cousin, a friend, and I did the swap in 18 hours. We borrowed a business shop and had to be out over the weekend. Drove in at 8:00 am Saturday with the 292 and drove home at 2:00 am Sunday with a 390.... truly a bolt in swap with Ford parts at that.

I remember those kind of days back in the 60's. That same job today would take me months   :003:
