thanks for the info dave,
i rebuilt the 390 and had the heads "done"
bottom end was superclean, crank was mint.
bores were good so i just honed them and put in new rings, got a new stock cam and lifters, new main bearings, cam bearings, rod bearings and rod bolts, my intake is a 2bbl, got the intake and block hot tanked, new carb, water pump, alternator, regulator, wires, clutch plate/bearing, and basically everthing i could touch. the whole thing took two weeks and my buddy did all the mechanical (with a little help from me) and i did all the prep and paint. (i took a load of stuff to work and bead blasted for days) so far i've put on 600 city miles and it's running like a top, no problems. thanks again and the fe forum. i put up a handful of pics of the rebuild so you can see what we did. here it is:
