RE: It sounds like a 1966 engine.

By Patrick - 10/29/2002 11:04:43 AM; IP 207.26.28.6

Hey Mr. Shoe *

Well, my engine tag says following:
390 66
6 D 31?
Dec '66!! Does this probably confirm that my original engine was switched? Or is it possible Ford put in a '66 390 because of low parts....my car was made in June of '68 (Actual build date).

Depending on your answer above, does that mean I don't have the GT engine? Obviously I'm a bit tissed...but I believe you mentioned before I can build it back up to a GT engine and put '68 parts on it.

I bought the '68 shop manual..does this mean I should now get a '66 fairlane manual to maintain the engine...or will the '68 manual be virtually the same (except for the thermactor emissions)??

Thank you!!

This thread, so far...
