Not Ranked
390
The original motor exists.
When the car was a modified 289, it had the iron block/iron head 427. Miles stuffed it in a tree and told Shel bout the need to lighten the nose.
The alloy 390 blocks were sleeved 427 sideoilers, not 390's but were 390 cubic inches. The turd was rebuilt into the fliptop and got the all alloy 390 with webers. 3002 got the other alloy 390 with a single 4. There might have been a few more blocks but no proof was ever given so, 2 for sure and one exists. The right one. When the fliptop 390 got damaged it was thought to be gone when actually it was the 3002 motor that was gone. The fliptop motor is alive and well showing a non thrust side repair and in fact the one it had from the problem.
