Good news for you in the reliability rating. What were they thinking? The most legendary engines made, along with the most lame. The 352 had a 4.000 bore, and the 390 had a 4.050 bore-if you've got a 4.060 bore, it's a 390 with a. It made the FE days seem simple even when they did everything to shoot themselves in the foot on them.
I never did figure Bunkie's strategy, copy the BBC for the 385 s and cripple them with a 135 cfm exhaust. Then the 335 fiasco, 3 351s a 400 that would crumble like chalk in your hands at 100,000 miles, The exhaust manifolds that got so hot in all of them they turned pink and were really brittle.

Why didn't they just cast the Canadian CJ heads and cast the iron CJ in aluminum? Use the Cougar 427 exhaust manifolds on all of the front crackerbox unibody cars? Forget all that 14 and 16 bolt exhaust flange stuff, they even made C8AEH 8 bolt Galaxie heads. Mopar offered the 440 Magnum to the general public which made a lot more power than the 428PI. I don't know why FoMoCo was so up tight about not offering the 428PI to the "general public", they only made barely 360hp the 1st year (solids) and about 340hp after that. There was no 390PI after 1965, but they could be 428PI/CJ rods put into a 390 at some point. FE pickup engines had a compression ratio of about 8.5:1.Jul 19, 2020What size are the conn rod bolts? Vanilla is a 9/16 socket, CJ / PI is a 19/32 socket. Also, early 390 pickup truck engines got pistons marked 410, since they were the same as Mercury 410 pistons. Note that 360 FE engines got skinny rods and pistons marked either "360" or "390-4V", sometimes mixed in the same engine, since they were the same. FE and FT steel cranks were forged at the Harvey, Illinois plant. The "$" marking forged into the crank is the trademark of the "Wyman-Gordon" forge. (smooth all the way around) it is forged of SAE1046 steel. If the crank has no square notch at the crank flange O.D.

The "football cutout" is at about the 4:30 position on the drivers side when the square notch is straight down. Note that the square indexing notch points exactly straight down when the crank is at TDC. The football "clearancing" notch is not needed on the longer strokes, since it is only required to provide drill bit clearance when hollowing the rear crank throw. has only a 3/8" square notch then it is a 1966-later 390 or longer stroke nodular iron casting. has both a 3/8" square "indexing" notch and also an inch-or-so deep football-shaped "clearance" cutout, then it is a 352/360 stroke, or a 1961-65 390-406-427 stroke nodular iron casting. The bellhousing inspection cover will need to be removed to view the features: In case the engine is still in the vehicle, the following is a "quick check" which can approximately identify an FE or FT crankshaft. Sorry, I don't off-hand recall the most common locations. Instead, it was a dealer-only performance product that Ford offered over the counter. This intake is very close to the original in appearance, but interestingly, it was never a stock part on a Ford production vehicle. The "-A" indicates a revised bobweight specification, probably due to a piston revision. The Tunnel Wedge is the other popular dual 4-barrel intake Dove offers it as a reproduction part. "2T", "2TA" indicates a 360 crank, 2U, 2UA, or 3U indicates later 390 crank (earlier 390 was cast with taller C3AE-B, etc, markings). To really find what motor is in there, the new owner will need to find out what the stroke of the crank is inside. Lee 360 and 390 FE pickup truck cranks are typically stamped with 1/4" (or so) tall letters on a crank cheek. 352 will be stamped on the FE block through, if I recall, 1970. Can you guys can give me some help in identifying it? I can't seem to find a casting number anywhere on the crank. The block's bore checks out (4.052 or thereabouts), but the crankshaft I'm not so sure of. I've just disassembled a project engine that is supposed to be a 390 truck engine that's been rebuilt at least once.
