Help needed 66 390
By Bow-Tie Basher - 03/08/2003 11:34:05 PM; IP 64.109.16.68
My uncle recently purchased a 64 Galaxie 500XL minus drivetrain. So he dropped in a 66 390 GT motor from a 70K mile 66 Fairlane GT. Now he installed stock 390 lifters and there is some clatter in the valvetrain. My question is does the 390 4bbl GT motor use different lifters than the stock 390 grocery getter? What did ford do to the 390 for that extra horsepower. 390 GT rated at 335? stock at 310? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
This thread, so far...

 GT was a Mustang option in 69, not a motor option. -- Dave Shoe, 03/11/2003
