It now sounds like a 390GT.
By Dave Shoe - 09/12/2001 6:34:14 PM; IP 12.2.11.131
A stock 1967 4-barrel 390 with Fairlane/Mustang with chrome air cleaner lid and the exhaust manifolds you describe is a 390GT engine.

The main difference between the 390GT and all the other 390s that year is the GT got a nice cam and stiff valve springs. It also got a 600CFM Holley carb instead of the 450 CFM Autolite, a free-breathing air cleaner, a slightly recurved distributor advance, and maybe a better fan blade. California cars got Thermactor. Nothing else is special. That's right - no heavy-duty stuff - it's not neededwith the sturdy 390 components. All 390 Fairlane/Mustang exhaust manifolds are dogs, so don't expect any performance outta them.

The 390GT was only available from 1966 to 1968.
