C7AE-A heads were used on any size FE except 427 or 428CJ. They are very common.

The C7AE 9425-F intake is commonly known as a Police Interceptor manifold. It was used on '67 428 police cars, 1967 427 Comets and Fairlanes with the W code engine, 1968 Shelby GT-500 (not KR), and the 1968 Cougar 427 GT-E. They are pretty common and sell for $300 - $450 in usable condition.

If it is burned through you might be able to fix it by welding but the heat might warp the manifold.

It is a good street intake. Hard to improve on one below 6000 RPM.

I recently purchased a 63 390 out of a thunderbird. It came with a fordamtic transmission and would like to switch to a c6. Does anyone know if ford made a c6 to match up to my 63?
 RE: 390/c6 -- Tony P., 03/20/2005
Yep, any FE C6 will bolt up to the 63 390. However you will not be able to use the 63 starter as it will not fit in the C6 bellhousing and thus you must use the 184 tooth late model flexplate. Just for your info, in case you are planning to sell the 63 tranny, it is a FX cast iron 3 speed cruiseomatic. The 2 speed Fordomatic never came in any FE powered Tbird.

 Yes, it will, but.... -- Gerry Proctor, 03/17/2005
You're paying Kobe beef prices when you really need sirloin. What's being offered isn't exactly being misrepresented but a bit over-hyped. (I know - when has that ever happened on eBay?)
The only difference between that bell and one that is right for your car is the presence of a bolt boss on the side of the bell.

The most common and correct housing for your application is the C6OA 6394 D housing. This housing also takes the factory 11.5" clutch and has the identical "hump" at the top of the housing. The only difference in the C5 housing is the bolt boss on the housing's side that you don't need.

The C6 housing comes in an early(pre 68) and late design. The only difference between the two is the clutch fork pivot. The early housing uses a pivot that has two tabs that insert into the fork and anti-rattle springs. The late housing uses a flat spring clip that inserts through a slot in the pivot.

You can use either style as long as your clutch fork is compatable with the pivot. You can also convert an early to late by just changing the pivot. Beyond the casting number, the date code and a look at the pivot will tell you whether you are looking at an early or late housing. Either will fit a big or small input bearing housing.

Here's a link to David Kee's Toploader site and his bellhousing ID chart: http://www.davidkeetoploaders.com/bellhousingidchart.htm

The C6 housing is pretty common and you shouldn't pay more than $150 for a perfect one. Look at the auction histories to get a feel for the prices.
