| It definitely sounds like a 1967 Fairlane motor. |

I suspect it's likely a 1967 Fairlane 390 engine. This could be a 390-2barrel, 390 4-barrel, or 390GT 4-barrel.
The casting number for the intake is missing the last character. The intake likely has an "S" marking atop the #1 runner, and if it's a 4-barrel, and this means it's likely a 390GT engine, but possibly a regular 390 4-barrel. This 4-barrel intake was used in all FE 4-barrel car applications from 1966-70, except for the PI, CJ, and 427.
If the air cleaner has either a screen on the front of it, or else a vacuum valve actuating a large air valve on the driver's side, then it's a 390GT aircleaner. Nice to have.
The heads are a generic 1967 casting used in all FEs except the 427, and are likely drilled for Fairlane/Mustang type exhaust manifolds.
Stick a CJ iron intake, or a 428PI alum intake, or an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake for vastly improved intake breathing, and CJ iron exhaust manifolds or Tri-Y headers for the 390GT (www.fordpowertrain.com) for even great improvement on the exhaust. You won't be able to tell the difference between it and a 428CJ.
