The Streetmaster intake when used on a FE Ford seems to be an excellent choice,stick with it.
    The block date code info is wrong on that webpage and the book if that's where it's from. The block they picture is a 73 not a 63. Few other things at quick glance have glaring errors. Just a FWIW...

    360 vrs 390

     



    Hey Robert I just found the same ribs on the engine in my 63 Galaxie. I am hoping it is a 390 but it was a rebuilt engine a few years ago and I have the engine tag it was bored .040 by national engines so who knows what it is.

    I will have to measure the stroke and since the engine is together I cannot measure the bore.

    Glad to hear yours is a 390 I hope mine is also.
