		| It's a simple matter to update your block. |

		Yoiu can update your original block to fit the later-style cam retainer.  The holes are already there.  They just need to be tapped and a common FE cam plate installed to the front of the block.  A new timing chain and you're ready for action.
  It's not even a precision operation to install the plate, so you can do it all at home.  Tapping cast iron is a piece of cake, so you should have no problems with finding a modern-profile cam for your car.
  Also, the Performer 390 isn't exactly a performance intake.  A Performer RPM, 428CJ iron, or 427MR/428PI intake might be more of what you are looking for if you want to squirt away from traffic lights a little faster in that 352.
