metal tag 390 66 6
5
5J 357 8

I'm afraid those numbers seem a little screwy. May I assume the tag looks more like this?:

   390    66    6
    5-J    357  8

This represents a 390 "Z"-code engine of change level #8. It was assembled at the Dearborn Engines & Foundry plant in September, 1965, for use during the 1966 model year. Basic engine ID #357 appears to have been specific to the Thunderbird car line, always mated with either a C/M or C-6 automatic.
