352-390 interchangability

[the elder rocker]

Hi Folks-
New to the forum and ignorant on Fords! That's out of the way! Will the valve covers and exhaust manifolds off of a '67 352 work on a '66 Mercury 390? According to the carb # the 390 in my '67 SWB is the '66 Merc. The 352 is in a parts truck said to be all original. It's rusty- no loss.
Thanks ahead for any knowledge.

The only thing that will NOT interchange between the 352 and the 390 is the

Crank
Rods
Pistons

EVERYTHING else interchanges

Great! Thank you. I assumed as much but when I assume........... Didn't want to get started and step on a land mine.

If you bore the 352 block, can you use the crank, rods, and piston to turn the 352 into a 390?

Yep bore it .050 and put standard bore 390 pistons in the block

Use the 390 crank and rods and you have a fresh bore 390
