i dont think its possible. the only way to get 510 ci from an FE is to start with a 427 block with the 4.23 bore, and i think i remember reading that back in the day they used to offset grind the cranks to 4.375 or something which is close to 510 ci. i believe that the 427 block with a scat 4.25 crank gets around 485 ci. With a 390 block and a scat stroker kit you can get anywhere from 410-460 cubes respectively and close to 470 with a 428 block. I fought this for a long time myself trying to figure out how i was gonna punch my 390 out for big cubes and mega hp. I built a healthy 416 using a factory 428 crank. Its a nice motor, and the FE's are cool, but eventually had to succumb to the fact that a 460 is already a 460 and for cheaper than i could build a 450ci FE I could build a 550ci 385 series. So i sold the FE for 460 money. Not sayin you should ditch the FE's, but if your wanting 500+ inches a 390 isnt the best place to start
FE series
I have several fe's stashed away in my barn hoping to some day build a few toys. What i am looking for is any info on how to build a 510 from a 390 block i saw a book a long time a go that listed all ford factory parts for this build but have not been able to find it again hoping that some of you guys with great ford knowledge might have run across this buid before. On another note waiting for my 460 to come back from machine shop so i can get that project finshed for my 83 f250 puller. Thanks for any advice you might have on the FE build.
This might just be a crazy project but it would be a great power plant for my 51 f100.
