390 or 410 ?

I recently bought a 1976 F 100 w/ what was supposed to be a 390. But I had some work done to it and the mech told me it was a 410. The only #s on the block I can see are on the passengers and they are c7mea. He also made a comment about the aluminiam intake the #s on it are csae-9424-f if anyone can help identify .

the 410 can use the same block as the 390, the only way you could tell for sure is to measure the bore and stroke. Basicly a 390/360 block with a 428 crank...D44HD

no not joking my interchange book lists c7me-a as 67-70 428...and I will be happy to trade a very healthy 390...LOL

If you really want to be sure you need to check the bore 390/410=4.05 428=4.13 if its 4.13 it cant be anything else..d44hd

No my book dosent have anytthing on intakes...But ,if its a single 4v dual plane- different heights when you look down the throat ( as opposed to open plenum) It will be a police interceptor maniflold..they flow very well and are worth a pretty penny, very hard to come by...d44hd

C7ME-A can be a 352 too, or any FE for that matter (except a 427). You have to measure the bore.

Can you get the number on that intake again? CSAE don't jive, it's gotta start with a C, then a number, then AE.

Sean, how about a thread merge?

Nope, part of the FE enigma. If it's a 3.98" stroke it could be a 410 or 428, 3.78" stroke for a 390 and 3.50" for a 352 or 360.

C8AE-F, dang, it doesn't ring a bell. I bet it's a 427MR/428PI intake like the C7 manifold.

We're talking about the intake manifold.
