[FC] My Best engine combo

[Mike Clark]

Thanks you guys for responding.  I'm not too worried about originality.  I 
want it to be driveable wherever it needs to go.  It will mostly be a 
locally driven truck, but may make a trip to Florida or Tennessee once in a 
while.

So a 110 motor with 95 heads.  Is there something special about the 110 
engine assembly or could I get a 95 engine and put a 110 distributor in it? 
I've got a couple 140 parts motors, but I've always heard a 140 is not a 
good choice for the FC.  I would like to have a 389 rear end.  Anybody know 
the code to figure out what's in there now?  I haven't seen my Decade books 
in years.

Thanks again.  Be careful on amateur's night.


Mike
