67 thunderbird length8/8/2023 I?m just trying to identify the intake and if I can figure out what engine is in the car I might get that also. If the BIRD is a 390 (4V), it will have S in the fifth VIN postion. Not all heads were cast with both patterns. Not all heads were drilled with both patterns. This dual pattern began in 1966 with the introduction of the FE FAIRLANE. The 14 bolt exhaust pattern heads were used on the intermediates (FAIRLANE/MUSTANG) as they had the side-by-side pattern so as the special exhaust manifolds could be serviced in the tight confines of the engine compartment. The intake manifold (C6AZ 9424-N) could have been used on a multitude of that period FE's. It was far from a low performance engine. The SHELBY received the 428PI ("P" code) in 1967 (and early 1968). I can get the intake for $20 but is it a 390 S-code intake? It did have the big S on it. How could I identify if it was a 390 or a 428? Balancer, Distributor are still there and the heads had the standard big car exhaust bolt pattern. The AC and PS brackets were still on the engine also. Most of the dash and interior was removed along with the carb. I couldn?t find a VIN on the car at all but it was definitely a 67 and even still had the big multiple piston brake calipers on it.

S code engines had Holley carbs and a huge. I am looking for information concerning factory performance/aftermarket speed parts (1958/1960) used on the MEL (Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln) (Also Thunderbird 59/60) Engine Series (383-410-430-462) produced from 1958 thru 1968. Previous Discussion of FE 14 Hole Cyl Head Exhaust Port. and see how the heads were designed for runners and valve size. So one would actually have to go by the head casting I.D. Depending on the head casting, some had the extra bosses for the additional bolt holes but were not drilled if they were not going into an intermediate engine asm. During this period, (some) cylinder heads were machined (14 exhaust bolt) either for full frame cars or the intermediates.
