If it hasn't been modified it should be the 400. Is it an Australian assembled car?

Any chance of throwing up a picture of the engine bay?
The 390 is a FE big block, which is physically a very large and wide engine. The 400 is a Cleveland derivative, and should be much narrower if I remember correctly.

Looks more like a 390 from that pic. I have photos of my Australian 72 Galaxie somewhere (but not digital ones). I'll see if I can find them.
I have attached a blurry photo of my 72 Mark IV 460 which might (or might not help)! |

The 390 was used in Galaxies up to 1970.
The 400 was used in the 1971 and 1972 Galaxies.
