I think the glass hood was Cyclone only. Everything I have ever read states that. Tack could easily be added. As for the FE and 4 speed; what does the door tag code read? The tag will tell you what engine, trans and interior trim code it came with, providing the door hasn't been changed.

I thought the 67s had the tach in the dash,not on top!! My friend has a 67 Cyclone,390,4-speed,he bought new in late 66,Tach is in the dash! ROY.

my tack is on top of the dash you can see it through the front glass just like 66 cyclones

That is the only 390 2V 4 speed I've seen in that platform. Interesting combo and nice car. Even though I have owned multiple years the six and seven's are my favorite.
As a side note, I did have a 67 Fairlane Y code and 3 on the tree.
