RE: C3AE-6090-C heads....390 or 406?

This is basically the same discussion we had on here a few months ago. At that time I told of the original 390 I pulled out of a highly optioned but seriously rusted '63 Galaxie 500 4-door sedan. The car had a build date of early May 1963. The 390-300 horse engine had the original C3AE-6090-C heads on it. It also had dished pistons with no valve reliefs.

One more thing of note was the actual cc's of the combustion chambers. While all data from Ford shows C3AE-C heads at around 62-64 cc's, the heads I had measured 72 cc's. This was after a valve job but the valves did not wind up being sunk an excessive amount.
This thread, so far...
