Title: FS: 390 blocks, cranks and heads (updated for parts sold)
Post by: cjshaker on July 17, 2022, 07:14:22 PM

EDIT: Everything has been sold except for the C1 block.

This stuff has to go to make room in my garage. I don't want to scrap the stuff, so hoping I can find someone here who might want or need it.

3 390 blocks  C1, C6, D4
3 390 cranks  C1, C4
4 sets heads  C1, C4, C6, D2

All blocks are good and standard bore. The D4 block needs oil transfer tubes repaired (one side was putting oil in the water, but otherwise good). The C1 block has blended oil passages at the filter mount, no other work noticed. Caps for C1 block are included but not pictured. $150 ea, $100 for the D4

The C1 crank is std/std and looks really good. Has polished journals that look great, but could probably use a freshen on the polish. Might need turned depending on your clearance needs. $50

The C4 crank is .010/.010 and just needs a polish to be used. $50

C1 heads have been gone through and are in good shape, but they just received a basic rebuild. Would be better off to go through them again for positive seals and better valves/springs on anything other than a stock rebuild. All surfaces machined, just need cleaned up. $100

C4 heads are good but need gone through. Completely stock. Only issue is 2 exhaust port bolt holes are slightly 'torched', but does not affect sealing surface and should present no problems. $100

C6 & D2 heads are stock and need completely gone through. No noticeable issues. $25 each set

Obviously none of this stuff is worth shipping, so hoping someone fairly local can use them, or a rebuilder to buy the lot for cores. I'm located in NW Central Ohio (near Lima). I can help deliver some (but not all) within an hours drive. That covers from Toledo, to Ft. Wayne (Indiana), to Dayton, but only if my fuel is covered. If buying the lot of blocks, I'll cover my fuel.

Doug  What letter are the C4 Heads

Royce, they are the standard C4AE heads. The original heads off of my '65 Galaxie.

I was wondering if they are G heads

I'm not sure if that's a G or a 0 after the 6090, and other than C4 HR heads, all the C4 heads I've seen have been the same. But I did think that the G came after the casting number, as in C4AE-G. The other 2 sets of C4 heads I have (on built engines) are the same as these. I am certainly no numbers expert though, so here's a picture.

They do have the bigger intake and exhaust ports, which is why I always lean towards C4 heads for my iron builds. Are there "bad" C4 heads, compared to the G's? Maybe you could educate me on the differences?

Doug, Not expert here either, but most discussions of early heads seem to favor the C4 G.. That's what Blair used to win engine masters. 

Your head looks like it has a fragment of the G in the casting number

Doug, they’re C4AE-6090-G heads. Almost all the C4AE-G heads I’ve ever seen have the imprint of that screw head over the edge of the “G”, just like yours.

Thanks, Kevin. I'm still curious if there is another type of C4 head other than the Highrisers.

There's a C4AE-H head.  427 LR.  I use them for the Cobra guys.

Thanks, Brent. Never had a set of LR heads, but I assumed they were C3 since the LR came out in '63.
