| Need 390 engine tag deciphered |
| By Rollie H. - 10/23/2003 2:17:10 PM; IP 209.111.89.247 |
I have located what appears to be a 390 by the engine tag. It is supposedly out of a Thunderbird.
Engine tag codes are:
390 67 8
7 B 311 A
The cast date of the block is 7A31 and date code for the intake is 7A12. The thing that seems strange to me is the 2bbl intake manifold and carburetor on this engine. I have always thought the cars had 4bbl setups back then.
The valve covers are original power by ford and are chrome. Are this originally chromed by Ford? The brackets and accessories are all there for power steering pump, AC compressor and Alternator.
There is an FMX transmission attached to it also.
Anyway I need some help determining the hp rating and originality of this engine before I decide to buy it.
Thanks in advance! |
