| RE: 390 rebuild, For a 67 mustang coupe! |

| The only parts that are unique to the 428 are the crank, pistons, and flywheel/flexplate. If your Mustang came with a 390 then another 390 (or any other FE) will fit as advertised. The only thing to look out for is the block mount and the type of heads you'll be using. The '64 and earlier FEs used a two-bolt block mount. Not that you can't make it work, but it can be the source of a surprise. Also, the unibody cars (Mustang/Fairlane) used a head that was drilled with a 14-bolt exhaust flange pattern and took a unique exhaust manifold to clear the shock towers. So, the ease in which your replacement engine will sit is dependent upon the year of the block and the casting number and flange pattern on your heads. |
