Distinguishing 360 and 390 crankshafts

How do I distinguish 360 cranks from 390 cranks?
I understand there is a difference in the rear counterbalance balance holes as well as the patern.

There is some truth to the rumor you can tell the crank from the end (a 390 has a square notch in the rear crank flange as opposed to the 360 with a half moon), but it's best to do two things... If you can see the stamped number on the first counterbalance, a 360 will be 2T or 2TA (coves all 68-76 applications). The second test is checking the stroke, the 360 is 3.50" and the 390 is 3.79".

Stop in with the gang on the FE engine forum and look over the FAQ's at the top for a good read.
