![]() ![]() Also what casting number would be on a 68 390 GT engine? I have seen some with a G (especially the 66s), is it different than the manifold ending with an E. The intake should be correct for a 1967 GT engine as long as the date code agrees with the build date of the vehicle if you are taking it that far. Many of these Z engines have a S cast in the manifold, but that does not neccasarily mean it`s a S engine. The Z was the regular 390 4 barrel that came in non GT Fairlanes, as well as Galaxies, TBirds & their Mercury counterparts. The S was the 390 GT engine, used in the Fairlane GT/GTA& Mustangs. I`m pretty sure that the Tbird 390 would be a "Z" on the VIN tag, not a S. ĥ9 Meteor (Canadian Ford) 2 dr sedan 332, auto Many of these Z engines have a S cast in the manifold, but that does not neccasarily mean it`s a S engine.ħ8 Fairmont 428 4 speed Fairmont 302 5 speed Mustang NHRA M/Stock 302 5speed. ![]() I also heard that the S-code intake ended with a G and not an E. I was following that post and know that already. I?m just trying to identify the intake and if I can figure out what engine is in the car I might get that also. If the BIRD is a 390 (4V), it will have S in the fifth VIN postion. Not all heads were cast with both patterns. Not all heads were drilled with both patterns. This dual pattern began in 1966 with the introduction of the FE FAIRLANE. The 14 bolt exhaust pattern heads were used on the intermediates (FAIRLANE/MUSTANG) as they had the side-by-side pattern so as the special exhaust manifolds could be serviced in the tight confines of the engine compartment. The intake manifold (C6AZ 9424-N) could have been used on a multitude of that period FE's. It was far from a low performance engine. The SHELBY received the 428PI ("P" code) in 1967 (and early 1968). I can get the intake for $20 but is it a 390 S-code intake? It did have the big S on it. How could I identify if it was a 390 or a 428? Balancer, Distributor are still there and the heads had the standard big car exhaust bolt pattern. The AC and PS brackets were still on the engine also. Most of the dash and interior was removed along with the carb. I couldn?t find a VIN on the car at all but it was definitely a 67 and even still had the big multiple piston brake calipers on it.

S code engines had Holley carbs and a huge. I am looking for information concerning factory performance/aftermarket speed parts (1958/1960) used on the MEL (Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln) (Also Thunderbird 59/60) Engine Series (383-410-430-462) produced from 1958 thru 1968. Previous Discussion of FE 14 Hole Cyl Head Exhaust Port. and see how the heads were designed for runners and valve size. So one would actually have to go by the head casting I.D. Depending on the head casting, some had the extra bosses for the additional bolt holes but were not drilled if they were not going into an intermediate engine asm. During this period, (some) cylinder heads were machined (14 exhaust bolt) either for full frame cars or the intermediates.
