like the other guys noted, you may be reading more into the numbers than there is. 61-65 tbirds all had 390 engines and never anything else and there were no stick shift cars after 1960. there were three different 390's, an export low compression engine, a standard 300HP version and the hipo tri-power M code engine. methinks you have a galaxie engine with S part numbers on the heads (and no those weren't used on birds!). another post noted the flat plane of the intake on a tbird, here is a shot of mine. and now my question, the other post mentioned the brake fitting, i picked my manifold up from another guy and it has no vacuum ports at all. any body got pics? and why is this manifold like this? it has a 2E24 date and is flat for a bird but has no ports for pcv or brakes. also how did the kickdown linkage mount? there are no towers for the throttle stuff and the parts books are not clear. also , please no slams, my car is a rod not a stocker so i ain't gonna spring for no #'s matching carbs! these are three modified list 1929-1S carbs that we cut the air horns off of and used secondary metering plates from some 600's on the outer carbs (no idle circuit, easier to tune!). anyway hope this helps clarify the tbird 406 question and also i hope someone can answer my new question
