Easy conversion.

The 352 generally bores to 390 specs without issue. You may want to sonic map the cylinders to be sure there are no core shift problems.

My present suspicion is the 352 and 390 both got the same cylinder jacket sand cores and only the barrel (bore) sand cores were sized differently.

390 crank, rods, and pistons will be all the parts ya need. Be careful not to use 390 pickup truck pistons, as they are now more common at the parts store and they have a low 8.5:1 compression ratio.
