FE head ID code
I purchased a 71 F-100 Ranger for parts, and the guy I bought it from said it had a 390 in it. According to the VIN #, the truck was originally a 302 truck, so there is no telling what it actually has in it now. The only number I can locate externally is on the heads, and that number is "6090R" (other than the normal "FOMOCO"). Any clue to what the "R" code is and what I may actually have?

The quickest way that I know of to tell if it is an FE is:
If the valve covers go on part of the intake manifold, it's an FE.
As far as the numbers go, I'm not to sure there.

Its an FE only forum, and these guys know their stuff.
