How can tell the difference between a 360 and a 390?

Thanks

Scott, You have to measure the stroke. Get a piece of 14-2 house wire about 8" long and run the white down one of the front spark plug holes. Lay a marker against the manifold on the wire, have a bud turn the engine over a couple revs with a socket on a pully, and then measure the mark. Report your find back here and we will decifer it for you. Most likely you have a 360.

If you can get a peek at the flange of the crank, then:

390 has square notch in crank
360 has semi-circle notch in crank

Otherwise, you'll have to measure the length of the stroke like John mentioned or tear it down.

If you decide to tear-it down the rods are going to be skinny on a 360 and on a 390 the rods are fat
