For FE engines try the forum
I am in the same situation, I am trying to learn. I found the one of the best places to go is to lurk at the FE forum www.fordfe.com

Fork Size
The C80Z-D fork is about 2" diameter and 10.5" center to center. The throwout bearing (McLeod) is about 1" 5/8" OD (no calipers, just eyeball). Either one of these ring a bell?
Thanks
Tom

It is the bore and oiling
The 390 has a bore of 4.05 standard
The 427 has a bore of 4.23 standard
The cranks have the same stroke, although some 427 cranks were steel. Some 390's (FT's found in trucks) have steel cranks,...
