| 268 Comp Question |
| By Willy Swan - 12/03/2003 1:42:43 PM; IP 216.30.135.34 |
l am looking for some guidance on building my 390.
It is going into a custom '65 T-bird convertible. I've got the body shaved, Air Rides on the corners, and T-Thrust II's. It is out for paint now and l am working on the motor and trans. l am rebuilding the Cruiseomatic and sticking with the stock convertor. The car will be used as a cruiser with the occasional run at the vintage drags.
I will stay with the C4AE-G heads and l plan to have Stan at FPA build me a set of headers. l will keep the compression between 9.5:1 and 10:1.
Now for the questions - l am considering going with Edelbrock Performer 390 intake (not RPM) and the 600 CFM carb with electric chock - any thoughts? Also, l would appreciate any input on cam selection. l am considering the 268 Comp but wondering if a milder RV grind my be a better choice.
l appeciate any and all opinions and will keep you up to date on my progress. |
