| RE: 390 questions... |

A couple of points that may help you:
First the "Cobra Jet Cam" is part # C6OZ-6250B. Which may be nit picky but the CJ cam is in reality a 390GT cam. Introduced in '66 for the new uni body Fairlane/Comet GT 390 package. The cam was/still is in my opinion, a very nice all around performance cam. The Ford engineers thought enough of it to make it the cam choice for the CJ and Super CJ too. That's for those of you who may think a Super CJ had a different cam. This GT/CJ/C6OZ cam was used in the 390 GT through '68. Then the powers to be decided the old lo-po cam was good enough for the 390 in '69 and back in it went. Top it off with a spiffy 4300. Whoa, nice plan on how to kill a mild performance engine.
Your intake C9ZE is the stocker. It has a 'stang designation with that third letter Z. That intake was cast , 1969, May 7...9E7.
Your heads were cast a few days later, 1969, May 24....9E24. See how that works? Who knows why, it was just the way the Dearborn engineers like to code castings.
As for the normal 390 thing....yup, that's very normal for us FEnatics. It's an excellent design that is obviously unique. Awhile back Dave Shoe provided some early pomo materials circa 1958 that specifically mentions the benefits of this intake/head design. Good info. Like a lot that Dave provides, I actually download it & print it and throw it in a file labeled: "Dave Shoe Stuff".
Like what in the hay are C6TE-G heads? Obviously '66 pick up or truck app heads? I'm searchin' for a set of those now. |
