| What do we have? |

A few years ago a friend pulled in a 63 Galaxie, I have a 63 1/2 already and he gave it to me for parts. He told me that it had a rare motor in it. I looked a the motor and just thought it was a 352 because it was painted blue. I really didn't pay much attention to it at the time. A few weeks ago I looked at it again and notice that it wasn't a 352 or a 390. It for one didn't have 352 stamped on the front of the block.
I pulled the motor out and tore it down. This is what I have found. For starters the motor weights alot more that any 390 I have ever had on my stand. In fact I have build alot of 390's and this motor broke my motor stand. The intake was huge. It was very heavy, it took 2 men to lift it off the motor. The manifold exhaust pipe was about twice as big as a normal 390. The ports on the heads was different than 390's and the valve springs were duel springs. The pistons went down lower in the cylinder wall almost touching the to the crank and came up higher. The oil up has a different screen on it and the oil pan has some kind of clean deal in the bottom. The dip stick has on it that it holds 6 qts of oil. The rods are thinner and longer than a 390's.
The pistons are 2 ring pistons. A ford lover told us that the pistons were called quick slide and the rods are called diamond rods. Not sure on that but that is what we were told. Under the blue paint we found the paint was gold. The block has 2 stamps on it. One saying it is a 62 and another saying it is a 63. The block has a exta oil galley in the front.
I have found alot of numbers and stamps on the block and parts that don't really add up. If anyone could help us figure this out please post back or email me.
