OK- You guys got me on this one. I knew it was an FE, but how could you tell it was 73-76 360/390. I need a better education.

If you wear glasses you will probably need them. If you look on the front of the block below the drivers side head then you will se a 105 written backwards instead of a 352 which is found on almost all of the blocks before 1973. Also if you look in the spark plug area you will see the D2TE-AA code. Just kidding, I can't see that. That is a nice looking FE John. Good Job! Here is another 1973 - 76 block but the block is about the only thing from that year.

Did you do any modifications John or did you pretty much do a stock build?

Guys, it's a .040 over 360 now a 390, oil mods done, some porting on the heads for better breathing, also CCed and matched, pistons the same. I just got a Pertronix Igniter and coil today from an Ebay auction. The engine is basically stock, but I think it will haul butt just fine, turning 4500 absolutly max. I have a freshened C6 to go behind it. Thanks for the complements. I hope to have it in the truck by fall

The engine rebuild was done by FTEer Bob Sprowl, with some grunt work from me.
