RE: Measue the bore and stroke.
By Rich - 01/27/2006 9:15:05 PM; IP 4.227.57.165
I understand that the VIN states it had a 352 in it. The problem I am running in to is that the motor has 427 Hi Performance labels on it and the valve covers of this motor seem to be wider than the valve covers on the 390 that I have in a 75 Ford pickup. I have also heard that low rise 427 heads look a lot like 390 heads. My father owned this car for the past 30 years and before that I don't know if a previous owner could have replaced the original motor with another one.
This thread, so far...
