harvest Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Thank you for the pic Dusty, What ford car had the 390 that year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-mman Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 The 390 appeared in many FoMoCo cars in 1965. Galaxies, Mercury, Thunderbird....they also had the identical 352 and 360. Also 2 bbl and 4 bbl versions. The color and type of valve covers helped identify the exact details during production. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustycrusty Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 It would fit in any of the large car platforms from Ford. Thats a Galaxie 500 pictured, I suspect the T-birds and The larger Mercurys- the Monterey and Park Lane had them, if not as the standard engine at least as an available option 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustycrusty Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 If you'da only found that first.... Oh well, now you have the complete gold set- get a nice big '65 FoMoCo big-block barge and install them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
