C8AE-H's came on std 428's ( non- CJ/SCJ motors) I hope they've been running it with lead substitute otherwise the valves have probably been hammered into the heads. The 390 in my 68 Monterey has multiple belt pulleys ( 3 I think)

guys
managed to pull some #s of the intake today. ill have a stroke measurement within a few days. Here are the #s on the MANIFOLD:
C7TE 9425F (i know this is a 67 something?)
also
a large "T" then the #s 7H21
any more ideas??
one other thing, this engine has a strange 2bbl carb....it looks antique! LOL the best way I can describe it is.....tall....and yes, i looked for #s or a tag and there are none!
Thanks

no it doesnt have a governor. Matter of fact, the governor is run seperately via a fan belt. its funny bec the alternator is a 3 pulley setup. I should take pics of this thing but i dont have a digitial camera.
Moreover, the carb is NOT set up for propane; it is a 2V gas unit all the way.....

I'd have to say it still has a 330HD motor block at least. If the stroke is indeed only 3.25".
The FEs 360-428 are usually , 3.5" , 3.78" or 3.98" as far as I know.
Hopefully the gurus will clarify here shortly.

I put 12'' piece of dowel in the #1 cyl and i rotated the crank until the piece of dowel didnt move upward anymore. I then Scribed a line on the piece of dowel. Then I carefully turned the crank with a socket until the dowel went all the way into the cylinder. I watched until it wouldnt fall anymore. At that point, I scribed another line. Then I Took my trusty tape measure and measured the distance, I did it twice and i came up with roughly 3.25 inches. Maybe I did it wrong but thats how i thought you had to do it. If it IS a 330 block as Gtex said, is that a junk block?? What yrs were they made and what applications were they in??
Thanks guys for all the help!

I'm not even sure that a 330 has a 3.25" stroke. I just know that the 352 and up have a longer stroke.
But the 352 bore of 4" with a 3.25" stroke is 327 CI, so it's certainly a possiblilty.
cool, maybe you have a Ford 327 :-) I always thought was a cool displacement number.
I'm sure that somebody who knows these HD blocks better than me will clear this up soon.
Can you get a good measurement on the bore?

I'd try that stroke test again. Rotate the damper to TDC on the pointer, shove the stick down #1 making sure it's parallel with the bore, mark the stick with reference to the top of the spark plug hole. Now take the stick and shove it down #4 and make another mark. Measure the distance between the two marks, this should get you close.
A 330 has the same stroke as a 352 but with a tiny bore of 3.87".
