RE: 390 rebuild/build-up advice wanted (long)

That cam sounds a little small, I've had good luck running a Crower with 214/224 @.50 and .524/.537 lift. The heads will benefit from exhaust porting in the bowl and removing the hump at the top of the ports. Harland Sharp rockers have a great rep and are a fair price. Have the machine shop install new bearings and check the pistons and bore to see if they can be reused. Crome rings will show little benefit. With a good set of headers and 9.5:1 CR and a good cam I would expect about 350HP and 420+ Torque. The exhaust is usually a good place to focus, most FE exhuasts need help.
This thread, so far...
