Introduced in 1960.
Believe the only V8 in the '66 was the 352.

390 were offered in 1968. 352 grew to 360. there was a 390 emblem placed on the lower bottom part of the front fenders,next to the doors. I belived this emblem was only used thur the 1972 model year. 390 were offer thur the1976 model year. 351/400m repaced all FE engines in1977 . 460in1977 also

One thing to keep in mind, many times since there is no visual reference difference 352s become 390s for bragging rights.

Measuring the stroke is about the only way to disclose the difference.

An unmolested engine could have an id tag under the coil.
