		| I.D my 390 |

		| I recenly aquired a 390 from a 68 galaxy 500 2-dr .  My question concerns engine origin/background. After hearing all the FE talk I felt a need to confirm what I have herd. My engine has verticle ribbing at the base of the block on both sides that extend front-to-back and a hose&fitting on the P/S(cut for removal).  I was told these are characteristics of FT blocks. Is my FE a FT? As far as the Galaxy it had 390 badges, 2bl, auto (i.e nothing special). Also, if it's not a FT what purpose does the fitting&hose serve?   |
