| 390 S code 69 Mach 1 resto, have some FE q's |

I recently bought a 69 S code mustang Mach 1. When I bought the car it had a 351w in place of the original 390 s code. After doing some research and obtaining a history report on the car I decided I would like to restore the car, rather than go with my original plan of putting a 460 with CJ heads in the car. The change of plans was brought on due to the rarity of factory S code, shaker hood, 4 speed, posi rear 69 mustangs. I am unfamiliar with FE specifics and hope that I can have my questions answered here. I have an H code 390 2-v shortblock out of a 67 galaxie 500, C8AE-H heads, and a 66 C6AE 390 4v intake. Does the intake I have differ at all from the C9ZE 390 4v intake besides for the casting numbers? What types of cylinder heads (possible versions of 390 GT heads etc.) came originally on a 69 S code mustang. What casting numbers should appear on a correct 390 s code block for a 69 mustang? Are FE blocks coded to the VIN? What are the correct exhaust manifolds for this application? Where can I get a 390 shaker snorkle (believe it is Identical to 390/428 non shaker snorkle-?) and shaker bracket? How sufficinent are the parts I have in terms of originality? The build date of my car is 4/14/69 if that is important. Lastly, why did Ford drasticly de-tune the cam specs and carb size for the 69 390 hi po as compared to its 61-68 predacessors? Thanks for the help.
