Not true in every case, Dave.

Which isn't surprising for Ford. I have a complete and unmolested C6ME-A Q-code 428 engine (with an "A" scratch on the bell face) out of a '67 T-bird sitting in my garage. I have the engine tag and it shows a build in Sept '66. Expansion plugs are out and there is not a 428 to be seen anywhere in the jackets. I do know that it is, in fact, a 428 since I pulled a head to be double-damn sure. I also did the drill bit test, which it passed, just as a reference for the accuracy of this prelim test.

The engine currently in my Fairlane is a C7ME-A block and I know too that it is a 390.

There is only one way to tell with absolute certainty what you have with an FE and that is to go invasive...start pulling parts off.
This thread, so far...
