| 360/390 Confusion |
| By Joe - 03/24/2002 8:21:16 AM; IP 12.225.249.69 |
| I recently acquired (for free) what I thought to be a 360, judging from the almost illegible sticker on the valve cover. Upon taking off the heads, intake and oil pan, it was obvious it had been hot and there was some carbon buildup. What I found next is perplexing. Cyl. 1,5 and 6 had 390 pistons and 2,3,4,7,and 8 had 360's. Con rods all are part # C7TEA ( I believe that's the correct #). Crank is a 2T (360 c.i.). Am I correct in believing the 390 pistons are shorter? Certainly this is not common, or was it just rebuilt by an idiot? Could this have damaged anything? I needed this engine to use its con rods for a different rebuild so I guess I did accomplish that, they are in good shape. If you have any idea what happend here I would be thankful for any answers/advice you may have. |
