RE:390 not meant for high RPMs?

Dusty, I have to kindly disagree with you on your statement that the 390 wasn't meant to see high RPMs.

This matters to those of us who remember the history-evolution of the high performance FE. It started in '60 with the advent of the HP352-360 horse carrying into '61-'62 with the HP390, 375 or 401 horsepower. Both of these high performance engines would easily rev to 6,500 rpms with their factory solid lifter camshafts.

The stock '66-'68 390GT(note that I leave out the '69 390 IP - "Improved" performance, non GT) would easily rev to 5,600 rpm which was the real limit, with the C6OZ-B GT cam which was good enough for the '67 later 428PI and our vaunted Cobra Jet 428.

With preparation, a 390 will rev very well indeed.
This thread, so far...
