RE: 3600#=slug?

I am saying that the guy can save some bux by making use of the parts he has. The block is good, and is the equal of the block used for the 390 GTs. It uses the later cams and has an alternator mounting boss. The heads may or may not be the old large port LR-style heads, which flow better than the later 390 GT heads. The ports should also match most aftermarket intakes for LR and CJ-style heads. The 1965 352 block is the equal of the 1965 390 block, but with a smaller bore. If FEs are scarce in his area, as they are in some, he could save himself a lot of trouble by using what he's got. I would sonic check the block and if it's got the meat, I'd bore it .o5" and build a 390 out of it.

I gotta say the best mod is more cubes, we certainly agree on that. Since it is a big car, I say build it for torque. I am assuming that breaking 12s is not in the program. So, if the original poster is still watching, what are the casting numbers on those heads?
This thread, so far...
