Title: Ford 390 FE and the Ford 427 BBF
Post by: 1972Challenger on August 13, 2012, 09:45:08 AM

In my boat i have a ford 390 FE and i have been wondering if the Exhaust manifold is the same as the ford 427. i want to buy a new exhaust system for my boat but i cant find anything for the ford 390, but the 427 has alot of accesories.. PLUS the bolt pattern for the exhaust looks the same..

so are they the same?

thanks for any help
