What year is this 390?

Post by KF100TK »

I don't have the original motor in my truck and needed some torque specs, but my manual shows different specs for different years :hmm:
Anyway my block has the 501 on the front and D4TE on the side heads are D2TEAA. From what i read so far i have a the big truck block, right? :?

that is the newer 74 block with the older 72 heads the engine is a 1974 at the earliest. it is a regular fe engine. its probably not a ft engine. they are way different than the fe. and are harder to mount if at all into a pickup.
