RE: Edelbrock?

Don't want to sound like a big promo for Edelbrock but they are making some good FE parts at reasonable prices. You said, $2,500 above the basic rebuild. Maybe this: Forged pistons, 4V, 10.5:1; forged pistons don't make horsepower but they do withstand it; recondition your '67 390 rods with ARP bolt kits; full cleaning and top notch machine work by competent builder; improve the oiling system as per commonly accepted procedures. Heads? Modify to accept the CJ intake/exhaust valves making sure to have the ports/bowl work done to allow the larger valves to do their job; Edelbrock RPM cam & full kit. I've not used one yet but I've read good reports from a couple of forums; Edelbrock RPM intake with their 750 CFM carb? Good ignition with Pertronix and MSD 6 box. There should be a lot more ideas coming forth. But this is how I would start the project. I'm really impressed with the looks and reports of the E-brock RPM intake. Starting with that intake as a basis, I think should be able to plan out a strong running 390 with coordinated parts.

Good luck. Again, check out that '67 GT 390.
This thread, so far...
