UP FOR AUCTION IS AN ORIGINAL DATED 1965 FORD Z CODE 390 ENGINE. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT ENGINE FOR A RESTORATION PROJECT AS ALL THE NUMBERS ARE MATCHING ON THE LONG BLOCK. I DID NOT GET THE INTAKE WITH THIS ENGINE BUT I FOUND A VERY NICE FACTORY ALUMINUM TALL PORT INTAKE TO MATCH THE TALL PORT HEADS. THIS ENGINE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REMANUFACTURED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. HERE IS A LIST OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO THIS ENGINE: BLOCK HAS BEEN BORED .040 LINE HONE CHECKED, OIL GALLEYS TAPPED FOR SCREW IN PLUGS, OIL HOLES IN THE MAINS HAVE BEEN CHAMFERD TO MATCH THE BEARINGS FOR BETTER OILING, OIL HOLES FROM THE PUMP TO THE ADAPTOR HAVE BEEN ENLARGED TO 7/16 FOR BETTER OIL FLOW, CRANK HAS BEEN GROUND .010-.010, RODS HAVE BEEN RESIZED WITH NEW PIN BUSHINGS, NEW HYPERUTECTIC PISTONS WITH MOLLEY RINGS, CAM SHAFT IS A FACTORY 4V PREMIUM FUEL HYD. CAM WITH MATCHING LIFTERS, PUSHRODS, AND SPRINGS, NEW ROCKER SHAFTS WERE INSTALLED, AND ROCKERS INSPECTED AND RECONDITIONED AS NEEDED, VALVE LASH WAS SET AT .080-.100 PER FACTORY SPECS WITH THE LIFTER COLLAPSED. EVERYTHING WAS DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECKED ON THIS ENGINE TO INSURE IT WAS DONE RIGHT. YOU MAY WONDER WHY IT IS PAINTED BLACK. BUT EVIDENTLY FORD DONE SOME BLACK 390'S IN THE MID 60'S. HERE IS A LIST OF CASTING NUMBERS FOR THIS ENGINE; BLOCK: C5AE-A DATE: 5-A-27 HEADS: C4AE-6090G DATE: 5-A-26 AND 5-A-9 RODS CASTING # C3AE-C CRANK IS THE FACTORY U2 CASTING. TIMING COVER CASTING # IS C3AE6059-A3 BALANCER: C4AE6316-B OIL FILTER ADAPTER: COAE-6884 I ALSO HAVE THE CORRECT POWER STEERING AND ALTERNATOR BRACKETS FOR THIS ENGINE.
THE VALVE COVERS ARE FACTORY CHROME COVERS CORRECT FOR THE YEAR. THEY ARE NOT PERFECT BUT THEY ARE THE BEST I COULD FIND IN THIS STYLE. I HAVENT BOLTED THEM DOWN YET AS I WOULD PURCHASE A NEW SET IF I CAN FIND THIS STYLE (STILL LOOKING). THIS ENGINE IS SELLING COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM WITH A NEW 600 HOLLEY WITH ELEC CHOKE. COMPLETE IGNITION SYSTEM WITH REMAN. POINT TYPE DISTRIBUTER, MOTOR CRAFT PLUGS AND WIRES AND EVERY LITTLE BRACKET AND DO DAD THAT I CAN FIND TO GO WITH IT. CRATING AND SHIPPING IS FREE AND I CAN ALSO FAB UP MY ENGINE STAND TO BREAK IT IN IF YOU WOULD LIKE. THE PICS JUST DONT DO JUSTICE TO THIS ENGINE AS IT IS A VERY NICE RESTORED EXAMPLE OF MID 60'S FORD MUSCLE. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND FEEL FREE TO EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. PS.  I AM ALSO OPEN TO OFFERS
