I doubt it's an S-code 390GT engine.
By Dave Shoe - 09/12/2001 2:20:37 PM; IP 12.2.11.131
I mentined it's an "S"-marked intake, but that has NOTHING to do with it being an S-code engine. These are two DIFFERENT S's.

By virtue of production numbers, the heads most likely have the 8-bolt vertical exhaust manifold pattern. This says it's a Galaxie engine. Also, the 390-2V high-compression engine wasn't available in 1967, but the 390-2V econo engine was available in the Fairlane.

Any 390 block (2V, GT, whatever) is gonna be a solid starting point. There is no reason to hunt out a 390GT engine. as all GT-specific items would be replaced during a rebuild anyway.

The 8" rear has small-block written all over it. What kind of car are we talking about.

JMO,
Shoe.
