Thanks Jay, The motor is all together and running in a driving car so I was hoping to ID it as a 428 with the piston, I will take the trans out in cooler weather.

Where I was trying to get at was if these pistons were in a FE it could be a 390 or a 428, just because these are in a FE doesn't mean its a 428 block does it ?

This build was from the mid 80's so the TRW's sound like it, thanks.

Can anyone ID these pistons a google search (nothing here) comes up with a few threads about them being used as a 396 chevy piston modified to use in a 428. I saw them through a bore scope that read 2287 P .030  there in a motor that I thought might have been a 390 but maybe they are a 428 piston. Sealed Pro came up in the search.

I got the idle down to 500 and may be able to go lower but when I turn off the key it still runs on and has the feel of not stopping unless I intervene.  I looked at the secondary butterfly and its looser than I would like (rotationally) if the vacuum diaphragm doesn't hold the butterfly tight (closed) is there a spring that handles this on a constant basis ? Im not seeing anything obvious that would be supplying fuel the float levels are spot on new and correct return spring on the primaries, could bad bushings on the throttle shafts contribute to something like this ?

Brent, no electric fan all factory set up although the fan blade is a tad smaller than a factory piece without a clutch. When I first discovered this happening it was after checking and setting the timing and idle speed in this case only had to check as it was at 15* and this is a stick car so I was able to get the idle down to 550 which is the factory setting.

Carb is a rebuilt Holley 600 for a 67 390GT this is its first use, I will check the plugs shortly. I only mention high compression as  the only info that came with the motor was it was run with "race" gas. Plugs are a Motorcraft BRF 42

I have a new to me engine that appears to be a 390 with CJ heads a 80's Comp 268H cam and unknown compression  but I believe it may be somewhat high the timing is at 15* initial and the vacuum advance is working. This is being called a 2000 mile motor the problem is its running on after turning off the ignition could high compression be the cause of this ?
