It's a simple matter to update your block.

Yoiu can update your original block to fit the later-style cam retainer. The holes are already there. They just need to be tapped and a common FE cam plate installed to the front of the block. A new timing chain and you're ready for action.

It's not even a precision operation to install the plate, so you can do it all at home. Tapping cast iron is a piece of cake, so you should have no problems with finding a modern-profile cam for your car.

Also, the Performer 390 isn't exactly a performance intake. A Performer RPM, 428CJ iron, or 427MR/428PI intake might be more of what you are looking for if you want to squirt away from traffic lights a little faster in that 352.

JMO,
Shoe.
