EDDIE..sent you an email about this.I may be able to help id this. Send me some photos.Hate to argue...BUT ALOT of FE ford engines had the EXACT SAME port sizes.From a 352,360(truck),390 2bbl and 4bbl...and even 428...depending on which 428 you had.NOW..there are different exhaust manifold bolt patterns...reg versus CJ...etc. Then..there are the 406 and 427's...different ports again...depending on what model of 427..low riser,medium riser,high riser...TUNNEL PORT....etc! I case you didn't notice..i had (past tense)at one time.... alot of FE parts...worked at a ford dealership for 15 years also.Joe--- In BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@...> wrote: > > Thansk and it should consufe some AMcers and of course perpetuate the myths that AMC didn't build it's own engines, :~P > Eddie Stakes' > Planet Houston AMX > 713.464.8825 > eddiestakes@... > www.planethoustonamx.com > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: themixtoo@... > To: BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 10:08 AM > Subject: Re: [BaadAssGremlins] engine ID please > > > Eddie, intake ports are too small for a 427/428 Ford looks like a 390 low compression 2 barrel engine. It is a Ford 390 you can tell by the way the water pump bolts up. By the way, do the spark plugs angle toward the middle of the engine? front two tip to the rear and rear two tip toward the front.....something like this / / \ \ ? Ford used this engine family 'FE' from 1958 thru 1976 or '77 (last 6 years in trucks no cars) last car with this style motor was 1970 Mustang 428 Cobra Jet.
