I'm sure that 400 is stock, fyi, 1975 was the last year for the 390.

FE stopped production in 1976, if they had leftovers to install into the rest of the 76 body style I can see that, but go to the parts store and try to buy a part for a 77 390 and watch the NAPA parts boy get confused. I dont think they installed any from the factory into the 77 body style.

Some f350s had FEs in them in 1979, I think ford put in whatever they had laying around, especially in the 350's, where the bigger trucks did not need converters as soon as everyone else. When dealing with the poor kid at NAPA, just tell him your truck is a 76, life will be easier that way. DF
