i would strongly suggest performer intake,set of headers,and K&N filter!
Onmy 428 i put a performer intake,hooker comp. plus headers(not low dough there), holley 750 vac sec.edlebrock low profile air filter.major inprovement,but the holley quick change kit with differnt springs (for vac sec. to open quicker) made it into a monster. eats up 350s all day long. and a many has tried!!!! I also put a accle super coil didnt see much bang for the buck on the coil. try advancing your timing to arond 9* it helps my FE keep on truckin

What kind of car is it? There's usually just a short piece of hose with hose clamps connecting
the tank and filler neck.

It may not look like it but your flywheel will
only bolt one way. The six holes in the crank
are not the same distance apart and there
is only one to put the flywheel on. I usually
just set the flywheel on the crank and roll it around until all the holes line up.

Ed..The CJ's intake casting # is C80E-9425-C ,you should expect to pay about 100-125.00$$.If you get it cheaper bonus.The intake will work fine as is on your motor with your C6AE-R heads.You should be able to pick up a decent running used 390 for the same or alittle more(which i would suggest rather than sinking money into your 352,i think you'd be happier with the performance increase..ie..best bang for your buck!).JMO...John

Ed, that is brutal what they did to you. This is the best forum and you don't need to stray! Hot Rod Lorenzen

FE forum. It is literally not possible. Come on back and try it again.

I cant believe they kicked you out. Thats not very mature.

Not a chance. All you hear in the summer is boom boxes blasting as these ass____ drive to the local beach.

Check out this site, as it has many many different forums and even one taylored to automotive audio:

Try going down to your local Ford dealer, and ask to see a service manual, find the page(s) that you need, and ask to make a photocopy. 9 times out of 10 they will let you, and if they don't, just visit another one.

Sorry to hear about that Mike. For starters, you might want to check the stroke using a 1/4” wooden dowel down the spark plug hole. Insert the dowel and rotate the crank until the piston is at the top. Mark the dowel and then rotate the crank until the piston is at the bottom. Mark the dowel again and then remove it to measure between the marks. You might get lucky and take some of the sting out of the purchase.

Unless you are doing a concourse restoration, wouldn't it be better if you just happened to buy a 390 car with a 428CJ?
"Original" 390 parts are very cheap compared to the value of CJ parts.

Mike, To know for sure look on the drivers side of the block by the forward water jacket. Their should be a block I.D. Number. Usually just forward of the motor mounts. If it's a high preformance engine it should have the HP stamped below ID number. You really can't go by the heads due to somebody might of changed them. To me the only way to know for sure is to find these numbers. Another way is to look at the flex plate or Flywheel. 428's are externally balanced and will have a thicker flex plate with a weight welded on it. A 390 takes a 352 flex plate and is internally balanced so the flex plate will be thiner and have no balance weight. That's how I remember it, maybe someone will correct me it I'm wrong. RC

With an ohm meter on the wire connection stud you should get nearly identical resistance readings on the three sending units while swiping the floats thru their range of motion. Hot Rod Lorenzen

Ryan, typically the potential of your stock 2-V intake has no advantage to the 4-V. Most 2-v carbs are larger in the primaries than that of the 4-V carbs. Many old-timers used to say that a 600 or 650 carb can increase fuel economy if you are gentle with the throttle. It is also nice to know those secondaries are there! Hot Rod Lorenzen

Intake manifolds can sometimes be a pain to get the bottoms of the ports to seal on these engines. If the angle of the intake setting to the valley causes a gap in the bottom they will suck oil into the ports and burn it like crazy. If your block or heads have ever been decked(especially without precise milling equipment to track the angle), the intake will need the angle matched. There is a possibility also that an intake you buy may have been modified to fit a "cut" engine.

You might want to get someone(if you don't have the experience yourself) who can acccurately measure the angles with a protractor and see if they are square to each other. It will save you grief later pulling it and doing it again.

I did this swap on my 67 Galaxie with a 390 and noticed quite a difference when opening up those secondaries. I used an iron 4bbl intake I pulled from a junkyard from a forgoten 64 Galaxie with a 352. I've experrience no problems and did see a SLIGHT reduction in fuel consumption.

If you are intending to perform the process known commonly as 'Nothing the Shocktowers' then why don't you just make them yourself? No rocket science involved, just some good thick steel plate a hacksaw and grinder and lots of elbow grease. Just make sure the welding is properly done. HTH
