Re: how can you tell?
To tell a 390 from a 352 or 360 measure the stroke, the procedure for doing so has been detailed here several time and recently.emilo2008 wrote:how can you tell the deference in a 390 and 352 ? i check the vin and it says a 360.
To tell the 352 from the 360 is one of the rare times that an FE block casting number might actually be of some use.
