RE: 1964 390 questions
By Eric - 07/12/2001 11:18:57 AM; IP 208.155.75.4
I've been throwing around the same questions because I've recently acquired a 65 390 to drop into my 66 Fairlane. So, if the port design doesn't make as much difference as the intake/exhaust design, I've had the performer rpm on a chevy 350 in a 51 Merc (Blasphemy I know, but I didn't put it in, I bought it whole) and it really ran great with A holley 600 vaccuum seccondary. Would the same Intake/carb be sufficient for the 390 or would I have to go to a bigger carb? Also, the Motor came out of a full size merc , so do the stock manifolds breathe well enough, will they fit into the fairlaine without too much trouble (I'm doing a custom dual exhoust anyway) or should I not screw around and just throw a set of headers into it since it's out anyway? Also, any cam preferences? Thanks for the help.
Eric
