Even if you could run a 390 Ford truck engine in S/S, I doubt that anybody would want to. Until 1975, all the pickup truck 390s were 2 barrels, and the last 2 years of 390 production,75 & 76, a 4 barrel version was available, but it was a low compession affair, with the pistons over .100" below the deck. In fact, Ford used a 410 piston in the low compression 390s, which were meant to be used with a 3.98" stroke (same as a 428) crankshaft, which explains the major deck clearance when used with a 3.78" stroke 390 crank.
