Thx Dennis, that vin describes it all but the color, which is metalic
green with white sport stripes/green interior.

I'll probably have another vin lookup for you soon.
I found a wrecked f250 (late 70s early 80s) with an fe4v engine
(hopefully a 390). I want to build an HO390 with the combined engine parts.

Thx for your help, Rog.

Of course I'm trying to upgrade on the cheap.

I'm a bit reluctant to change the rear ratio as it will race on the freeway.

This is nesc. for heavy towing, but I would like to run light loads/daily driver also.

Tough choices i guess.

Okay... E can also be for Jade Poly (Dark Green)

However, the Z in the trim scheme is a mystery to me.
Check this digit again please

The so-called *sport stripes* may be the Explorer striping (which isn't in the coding.)

Do you have a photo of it ?

EDIT:
ps, Most of my info posted is from memory and is verfied when I get near an appropriate source..

The rest is from the 76 Ford shop manual (like the first 2 digits of the trim scheme).

the FE was dead in 1976 so the truck you found won't have one. Also all you need is crank and rods and pistons.

your best bet is to find a early 70's truck with a 390 and use that.
