My Fe was a 390 out of a 1966 T-Bird. My engine is .060 over with no real problems noticed and thousand of miles driven. Engine heating was only a problem on hot summer days in bumper to bumper traffic. Replacing my 9 inch pusher fans with 10 inch units has relieved the situation. My understanding is that many 390's can easily take a .060 overbore but some cannot due to bore-centering manufacturing differences.

I'm in the Harrisburg area so give me a call to discuss or stop in to see the car.
