Hey the 390 was the work horse, they were in every thing from grandpa's station wagon to the dump trucks. Made for low end torque and not all out race engines. As was for other divisions. GM 348s, 366s don't hear nobody raving about them, Mopar equal work horse was 361s don't hear nobody raving about them either. Ford had the 352, 360, 390, 391ect... in the same verison. If that's what you got then why can't a guy as a question on getting more out of his ride without all the trash. Most of the 396s were 325 horses which were probably over rated also and they weren't all that great in a heavy impala, but when you put solid high lift cam, hig rise intake, raise the compression, give it a few more stronger parts, throw a holley on it and bang it's a screamer, put that in a lighter camaro and instant success. That seems to be the forumla for everbody back then. But, today the popular engines have a big line of preformance parts available. I agree their were alot of the mighty small blocks which to me were the ones really underrated back then. But, Big is better in just about everything especially in bragging...Just the site or sound of BB muscle made me look. |
