| RE: 390's and 428's |
| By Dave Shoe - 09/12/2002 10:00:16 PM; IP 67.4.133.222 |
The 390 station wagon motor is the same as a 428 station wagon motor, with exception of the crank stroke (same type of nodular iron is used in both cranks), the flexplate balance, the piston size (both are cast autothermic), and the cylinder jacket and barrel sand cores stuffed into the block mold.
The Mustang 390 is the same as a Fairlane 390. Most seem to be 390GT engines (1966-68 Fairlane, 1967-68 Mustang), some are 390IP engines (1969 Fairlane/Mustang), others are 390P-2V (1968ish Mustang/Fairlane), and 390-2V (Fairlane). The non-GT and non-IP versions are about the same as the Galaxie version, except they must use the exhaust manifolds designed for the cranped Fairlane and Mustang engine bays in stead of the log exhaust manifolds of the Galaxie. This requires that exhaust bolts be located differently between the full-sized and the smaller cars.
