Here's a question for the experts...I'm building up the 390 for my 66 Cyclone convertible, 4 speed. So far this is the thought...

66 390 block .30
Forged pistons, ~9.8:1
Eldebrock heads
Holman Moody Medium riser single 4bbl intake
FPA tri-y headers
Cam ??

I would like to go with a solid lifter and have even thought of going with the soild roller. I understand that there is a BIG cost difference between the two, but l like the idea of less strain on the valve train. Looking to get some ideas on numbers, and what the masses run.

The car will spend most of its life on the street running back and forth to the cruise nights and hot dog stands, but want to be able to hold my own when challaged.

Couple of other points, the rear end will be either 3:9 or 4:11, 31 spline with the N case. Wheels will be the stock 14x7, maybe 15 if I can find a set of Hurst wheels.

Thanks in advance
This thread, so far...
