I looked up both the 66 and 67 Fairlane on OldRide.com for specs and they seem about the same. Wheel base and overall length of wagons are the same. Here is a quote from the text of the 67 article:

"For 1967 the Fairlane was the base trim level model. It continued to use the same body as the one introduced to 1966 but with minor trim changes. The new grille was an aluminum single stamping instead of the two grilles used in the previous model and the taillights were divided horizontaly by teh back-up lights, instead of vertically like the 1966 Fairlane. You could get the Fairlane with a 410-hp or a 425-hp (dual Holley four-barrel carburetors) 427 cu. in. V-8."

Looks like with some minor trim changes, that 66 could become a 67 and use that previously mentioned 390 with the Holley 4BBL. I think it's rated at 320 HP.

That Holley is List 3793 for the "A". According to the Quick Fuel catalogue, the SSR 585 VS is a legal replacement for it.

Edit: My 67 Ford NHRA Engine Blueprint file says that 390 is rated at 320 HP with 10.5 compression. The Holley carb is C7OF A,B,C or D
