ask somethingclever, i think he has some knowledge of those engines..

In all honesty I don't think there's anything about it that's special....assuming it is the original engine. (meaning non-hipo)

If it were mine I'd start it at $400 or so.

hey John, how can you tell if it is a hi-po?? i have no idea when it comes to the FE stuff...

[somethingclever]

Solid lifter cam for one.

I forget what the cyl head and intake casting numbers are....

Colin or map would know i'm sure....i forget alot of FE stuff anymore....I've seen the light of the BBF. LOL

Probably just a stock 390 if it was in a Tbird. If you have codes, I can check to see what it is!

Maybe its one of these motors? :)
