RE: 428 Engine I.D.

Ron
The block casting number is no help differing between a 428 or 390. The intake is definitely a 390 part. The head casting numbers are between the center 2 exhaust ports.
If the Torino is in good shape and the price is reasonable, then it is worth getting whether the engine is a 390 or a 428.
If the seller can not verify that it is a 428, then he/she has to price the car as if it were a 390.
It is easy to change the engine later if you want more cubes.
One thing that can be done is check behind the drivers' side head on the block for a stamping. If the stamping matches the car, then it is the original 390.
