| engine or block I.D. |

Hi guys, I am about to purchase a 1967 Falcon that someone has fitted a 4V 390, 3 speed toploader and 9" rear into.
I am not sure how to confirm the engine is a 390 and not, say, a 352. It has a cast iron intake with a 600 Holley and cast finned rocker-covers, I cannot recall seeing any I.D. tag anywhere.
Can you measure the stroke on these engines by putting a 12" length of brazing rod into a spark-plug hole and wind the engine over slowly, marking the rod top and bottom of the stroke?
I drive a '55 F-100 with a 1970 429 4V and C-6, I know you FE types will hate this but it would just eat the 390 in the Falcon, hence my concern about what size of engine it actually is. TOM |
