352 blocks tend to bore out to 390 without issue. By Dave Shoe - 05/03/2004 12:40:06 PM; IP 12.2.11.190 The 352 and 390 blocks appear to use the same cylinder jacket sand cores, while the 361Edsel/390 block of early years tends to use a larger diameter barrel core, just to reduce the amount of iron that needs to be cut in the 30 seconds available on the production line. It sounds like you've got a good basis for an engine, whether 352 or 390. It does appear that Tbird FE blocks were all painted black, at least into 1965. Gold paint accenting (valve covers, air cleaner) was also normal on the TBird, at least for some of those years. I'm still learning about paint schemes of stock FEs. Shoe.
