Hi fellow ford barner like I said before I'm not familer with fords how do you tell what kind of engine do I have in my 66 galaxie according to the Vin# 6U66Cxxxxxx I have a 289-2v Challenger V-8 in the car does the 2v mean 2 bbl carb or something else. any ways the carb on the engine I have is a 4bbl carb and there is a number 352 stamped on the front of the head on the drivers side of the engine. I always grew up around oldsmobiles and buicks and I always had 350's 4 bbl carbs in my older cars and it was labeled on the air cleaner. when I look under the hood I see a engine V-8 cause of the 8 spark plugs I don't know numbers like 289 or 352
