You cannot know for sure that the engine is original in the car unless you have lived with it since "day one". Yor can only tell the difference between 390 and 428 by measuring bore and stroke. Engine can be painted any color. Usuall engine tags are missing or can be replaced to suit the owner. The term "matching numbers" does not apply to the older Fords.
