Hi Bill,

I was there with the paint still not left alone, I have written off the door sign:

W.B - 129
Color - FM
Model - F250
Body - B81
Trans - G24
Max G.V.W.LBS - 007500
Cert.Net.H.P. - 172 4000
R.P.M. - 71

Since I am not at all versed with Ford engines, how can I detect which (390iger) engine I have installed? Thanks

Note corrections in red.

129" Wheelbase.

F = Arcadian Blue / M = Wimbledon White.

F250 2WD, 7,500 lbs. GVWR

B81: B = Medium Blue Crush Vinyl & Medium Blue Cody Pattern Woven Plastic // 81 = 81B Custom Cab.

G = MX Cruise-O-Matic.

24 = Dana 60 Rear Axle / 4.10-1 / non Limited Slip / 5,200 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.

7,500 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

172 net HP @ 4,000 RPM (352 2V).

71 = Los Angeles CA Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

The original V8 would have been a 352 2V, which has a bore of 4.00" and a stroke of 3.50"

The 390 has a bore of 4.05" and a stroke of 3.78"

Measuring the stroke will determine engine size.

Wouldn't be surprised if one found the oil dripping right off the bottom of the flywheel access plate as it works down the back of the engine. What FE truck doesn't have that leak? In fact my truck, the Cougar and the Park Lane all drip a few drops per day from there. Simple solution is a jar...
