NO
Usually a C6 transmission.
will a 352 fit in a ford ranger
No it won't. The only transmission that will fit a 390 is one off of 360 or 352. The 390 is a FE block it has a round shaped housing. The 460 Bellhousing fits the 429 351M and 400. All the Ford FE engines: 332, 352, 360, 361, 390, 391, 406, 427, 428 and 534 V-8's will fit the 390
Depends on the C6 transmission you have. They made several variants for different Ford Engine types for the FE and 385 Big Blocks. So For a 390 you will need a C6 that mates to an FE engine.
I believe that's .017 point gap with the automatic transmission equipped 390
no
You add transmission fluid at the exact same place you check the fluid level. Do not overfill!
12 degrees BTDC with the automatic transmission ( unless the engine compartment decal shows different )
which 351? winsor, clevland,or modified. plus the 390 is an FE style motor and transmission mounting is different on all 351,s
if it came with a 360 it will bolt right up the fe series of ford big blocks 360 390 401 406 427 428 429 460 and other small blocks use different bellhousings
Ford just refers to it as the 390 but it would be ( around 6.4 liters )
Yes. The 352, 360, 390, 406, 410, 427, and 428 are all FE's and are based on the same engine block. I have a 76 F250 4x4 highboy with a 390 and my brother has one with a 428. The engine mounts are the same and the 428(also 427) will bolt directly to your transmission (NP435 or C6). If you have or are building a 428, remember this engine is externally balanced (the 390 is internally balanced) so the flywheel (if manual trans flexplate if auto) needs to be balanced with the rotating assembly.
