| RE: rebuilding a 390 for my 62 Galaxie |

| I have heard bad things about the Keith Black hyper pistons. I used Sterling Hyper pistons on my 390, which I just rebuild a couple months ago. Also, I think the 750 cfm may be too much for a 390. I would go with a 650 or so...I am using the Edelbrock and it is working fine for me...not only will this prevent you from overcarbuerating it (which is common on street machines) but it will improve fuel economy, and since you will need to use premium gas, and fill up often, this will prove helpful. I don't know much about Edelbrock cams, but Crane and Comp have better name recognition, and I have good luck with my Comp 268H. THe FE oiling system is one weak spot. I am using a melling HV oil pump, hardened oil pump shaft, and milodon 7 quart pan. The hardened shaft is a must, since if this breaks your screwed. Good luck |
