I agree the intake will fit if it is a 390.

But, did Ford ever put a 4V on a factory 390 in a truck, particularly in 67-72?

Yes, they did. In my area, south west Michigan, they are fairly common. Especially in 75&76 390 powered two wheel drives. DF

The earliest reference I can find to a 390 4V in a pickup is the "M" code engine in '74, the manifold had a D4 number. Before that, there was the "H" code 390 2V that came out in '68.

Now that's not to say what the dealers could have done to satisfy customers. I'd be interested in what the manifold number is on that '72 390 that you are using.

Barry, You know some guys think 4 barrels will make mucho more power and MPGs so they will get one from anywhere and put it on anything.

72 390 head, and a 65 car intake. The motor
goes pretty good. No weird things have happened yet.

Ditch the Cast Iron- you'll get a hernia, also lighter equals more pep, the performor manifolds -though boring-are a big improvement, and you can polish them, or even do like I did and get it Jet Hot coated. Check out the pictures in my Gallery. Trevor the CACWBY in WI
