C6ME 390 or a 428 used in 66-67 T-Birds , Full Size Fords, some had blocked lifter oil feeds on Police Interceptor solid lifter motors , some even wound up in early 67 shelbys . If its a 390 it does not automatically mean it can be bored out to 428 size but maybe , you need to sonic it. (I actually have 2 428s , 1 is the C6ME and the other is a C6ME-A.)
The heads you list are regular 390 heads and probably have bosses on the exhaust side to drill and tap additional holes for 14-bolt exhaust manifolds ?These heads with a little porting and Cobra Jet valves flow just as good at a fraction of the cost. Compression ratio depends on piston type etc but these heads are probably 68 to 70 cc.
The exhaust manifold you identify looks like standard passenger car , right side ? nothing special. |
