| RE: rebuilding a 390 for my 62 Galaxie |

| Lanse,I don't know what giacamo's facination is with 65 and later blocks is but 63-64 blocks have the late style cam retention and it is a simple procedure to convert 61-62 blocks.The bottom line is 65 and later blocks have higher demand and therefore command higher prices because of the presence of the extra motor mount bolts that allow them to be used in any application.My personal experience at local rebuild shops is that they have no demand whatsoever for the early blocks and the blocks they do have on hand they consider as scrap,and will not buy early cores.So as I said in my first post,If you find an early core at your core supplier you may be able to get it at a substantial savings. |
