RE: 390 with 428CJ heads? By Gerry Proctor - 10/08/2002 8:53:54 PM; IP 216.40.205.93 You might want to do some further investigating on this one as many ebay sellers use obtuse and misleading language that allows you to lead yourself down whatever path you like and they won't stop you. First, yes you can put 428 CJ/SCJ heads on a 390 and it will do just fine in both compression and airflow. Now the problem, unless the ad explicitly says that the heads are CJ and provides the casting code and it reads C9OE-N then they are likely not CJ heads. Converted heads mean essentially they put 2.09/1.66 valves in a set of 390 or non-CJ 428 heads (like C8AE-H heads) which equals zilch as far as value go. You need to get everything in writing before you lay out any cash and that includes guarantees that the thing is exactly what the seller claims or indicates it is without any conditions.

This thread, so far...
