Jason, The 352 was the only V8 offered in 66. The only real way to findout the size is to pull the heads and measure it.

Jo,
Thanks for the help.I know the 352 was the only truck FE in 66 but the people i bought it from claim it's a 390.I dont believe that.I think it's the orgininal 352.I have the miles documented on the truck at 109,400.
Also,those numbers i gave were on a tag under dip stick tube mounting bolt.
Somebody on a recent FE thread on here said that tag was a way to find out c.i..I might have to pull the heads anyway.I am having no luck getting the exhaust manifold bolts loose!I have a bad leak.I have cleaned out th open end on heads and have been spraying a good shot of PBBlaster in all the holes.
thanks.

Jason, It is pretty easy to tell a 352 & a 390 apart. I got a 12" piece of 14 ga. house wire, and pulled the white wire out of the sleeve. I removed a front sparkplug and placed the wire in the hole. With a pencil resting on the engine and the lead on the wire jacket, have the engine turned over with a 1/2 ratchet and socket, slowly do a total up and down trip and then measure the length of the mark on the wire. about 3 1/2" 352 about 3 13/16" 390.
Get your pencil out and report back.

Jason the one in my red truck has no splits, but the underside of the cab is so rotton, it's not worth saving. I'll save the 390, Cruse-O-Matic, and 3.00 rear though
BTW, I tried the dowel but found it to be too thick, and where is that boy anyway? I may go hunt him like a snake after Carlisle this weekend. You recon this redneck can find him up in NY?

Thanks for the warning,I'll try your wire idea then.
I havn't seen Thom around these boards in awhile.Is it just me?
If you are talkin' about him,I thought he lived in Washington state?Maybe not.
Anyway,
Take care.
