Except for the carb, it sounds right.
By Dave Shoe - 02/02/2004 8:45:37 PM; IP 216.243.176.34
The C7 marking on the block could be found in 1967-1971 cars and pickups. It does not indicate the specific block casting by any means, since the same number was used on many diferent castings.

Heads the same stroy, C8 was about the only head available from 1968-71.

Some Mustangs got a C9ZE intake, but if it's got a "T" on the #1 runner, it's likely correct, though an "S" might be correct on the #1 runner, too, I'm not yet sure. Note this particular "S" inticates the "Thunderbird" car line, not the "S" code engine. If it has a "T" it stands for "Truck", but was correct on some 1969 390 Mustangs.

Just look at the date codes to be sure. The head date codes are under the valve covers in the center, the block date code at the oil filter bracket on the sloped pad. The intake should have it in some obvious place.

Te carb is likely a 1965 model year carb, but it could be from a 289, 352, or 390. Heck, I just dropped a 1969 302 carb onto my 1970 390 engine to keep it running through the winter. Beats rebuilding it when I don't need to.
