They did not make the 390GT engine in '69.

The engine used in '69 Mustangs and Cougars is just like a Galaxie 390-4V except for having different exhaust manifolds to fit the small body cars.

For that matter there is precious little important differences in the earlier 390 GT engine other than the cam and valve springs. The big difference was the Holley 600CFM carb used on GT versions.

The factory camshaft part number should be unimportant since none are available from Ford. The original part number for 390GT is C60Z-6250-B. It's a pretty mild camshaft by today's standards.
