RE: 62 T-Bird 390

I dont know what you are planning to do with the engine but it sounds OK if it does indeed have the "shorty" headers on it. First off is your tri power manifold flat? Does it have a fitting under the drivers side middle carb? That is the only T-bird correct style for 62-63 M birds, otherwise it is a 406 set up. Flat stye wont work on any thing other than a T- bird unless you level the engine's angle in the car. Look at the date code above the thermostat housing. Hell look at the date code on the engine block. The 62 M engine had a slightly hotter cam, 63 was the same as any other 300 horse 390, both were rated at 340 horse so Ford was fudging just for sales.
This thread, so far...
