It sound like you've got a 390-2V that was originally installed in a 1969 FoMoCo vehicle. It was cast on 9/27/68. It was a lower compression engine, 9.5:1, that ran fine on regular leaded gas. They weren't "Mileage Makers" but just good solid torquey mills. I think the 2V 390 was rated at 265 horsepower.
Like all 390's it offers tremendous power potential.
Just bookmark this site. Check in on a regular basis and you'll acquire a lot of ideas on how to build that 390.
Here's a simple plan:
Edelbrock heads & RPM intake, flat top 4V pistons, cam shaft with something in the neighborhood of 220 @ .050, intake and exhaust, 600 CFM carb., MSD or Pertronix distributor/ignition system, headers.
I must say, this simple but not inexpensive. But building a small block chevy isn't cheap anymore either.
Have it professinally built by a competent, reputable, recommended shop and there you go! Install it in your favorite Ford/Merc and you'll have a lot of fun. |
