390 baffle plate under intake (reverse 105)

By Michael White - 03/24/2003 1:47:49 PM; IP 208.186.102.57

Do all 390 FE big blocks use a baffle plate under the intake manifold? I have a 'reverse 105' engine on a stand and there is not a baffle plate under the intake. Would it be a mistake to rebuild this 4v FE 390 engine without using a baffle plate? This engine was partially disassembled when I bought it and I don't know if it ever had a baffle plate.

Can anyone provide info about the reverse 105 FE big block? I've heard that the cylinders are thicker than a normal block and the main bearing saddles are reinforced with additional ribs. Is this true?

This thread, so far...
