Dave, your the best.

I appreciate all your help. My old man has several 390's around his shop. If I get this right, we could use a 390 crank, rods, and pistons and get compression down, theoritically have a more durable combination, and use the C7 heads? We've actually got a 390 that was overhauled with about 10K on it and then we decided we had a crack in the block. It was mixing oil into the antifreeze resulting in a runny pudding effect in the radiator. The 390 was a 1974 model so I know it has smogger heads on it. Would they go on the 428 block and reduce compression by a point or so?

I know I'm asking a lot of "stupid" questions, but I'm just trying to get the best combo out of the existing parts the old man already has laying around.
This thread, so far...
