RE: 427 or 390 need help guys!

It's not a 427. Those books......they just keep publishing a lot of misinformation. Let's see, the heads - C4AE-G probably, which are standard late '64 through '65 352/390 heads; Rod C3AE-C I believe is the standard 390 rod for '65; Crank C4AE-B is the standard 390 crank for '64-'65 which was also used in the '64 lo-riser 427 but typically with fully grooved mains. It's a cast iron crank.

So I think you've got a cool '65 Merc with a 390. Those valve covers are nice aren't they? They were red-orange for '65 with black blocks and for '66 they became Ford blue.
This thread, so far...
