I also a$$-u-me(d) the EDSEL 361 was an early FE de-stroked 390 (4.05) but a discussion on another forum about special size pistons for the EDSEL 361 woke me up.

If you ever have a chance, can you post all available CASTING ID and DATE CODES from your engine? I assume yours had HYD LIFTERS but did you ever pull the heads and noticed if the combustion chambers were machined? Did it come through with a SPIN-ON oil filter?

I never had or was around an EDSEL to learn. And of course, all service and parts info was in specialty print.
