The original 427 badge is extremely light and the same color as the back of the 390 badge. And the 390 badge looks like it has no gold in it at all I have seen that before

Ok I have the original one in my hand and by looking at the picture the middle one would be the original one the back is not gold in color and all the details can be seen from the back and it is very light. I don't really know how to do the pictures but the kids at work know how I will try later I work 2-1030. Also next to the 427 on the side decorations see how much squared off the lines are compared to the top one that's how mine is

Looks like the one on the top is more original I have to of the bottom ones on my stang bought them from a galaxie place a long time ago he told me they were as close to original as possible but he said they were Golder than the originals I think I can see a Golder tinge on the top one. Tommorrow I will look at my old one on my air cleaner which is original . That being said the gold ones look nice especially on my lime gold paint

Thanks CJ I actually stock that oil But maybe I should find out what my clearances are to pick a viscosity or the are probably a standard clearance and a 15-45 or a 10-40 is fine but I do maybe want a smidge thicker for oil pressure at idle or I'm not making sense

What are you running do you have a solid cam, I will need something with some zinc in it. I always ran castrol 20/50 but I get a feelin that's not compatible with today's metals or should I say cams and in my case a solid cam

Ok guys I stuck a fan in front of the radiator and varied rpm from 2000-2500 for 20 minutes didn't go over approx 205 did have alittlr oil leak coming from the back of motor didn't see it the first 12 minute run I did have a valve cover leak tightened it up got a little oil on my new ceramic coated hookers. But the good news is after 20 minutes dropped it down to 1000 rpm and idled nice and with no noises. 20 psi oil pressure would have liked to see 25. So I guess drop the break in oil and what do you think I should be putting inr there as far as viscosity, still have to put middle springs in and do some carb adjustments
