390 rebuild (long)
By Todd Novak - 02/22/2003 5:29:03 PM; IP 65.73.71.229
I've got a '64 galaxie with a 390 that I'm looking at freshening up. The car has 3.50 gears and close ratio 4-spd with shortie headers. I've been surching through past posts and I want to verify which way to proceed. The heads that I'm runing now are C1AE A, I've heard alot of good about the C6AE R heads, I do have a set that could go on but want to ask you guys first, I also have a set of C0AE C heads. I've got a stock intake and I'm thinking of going with an Edelbrock perf. rpm. Which of the above heads would match up and give me the best results with an Edelbrock intake? I'm currently runing a set of aluminum valve covers with no breather holes in them, If I were to get the RPM intake can I use the rear breather hole for an oil fill spot? The car has a Federal Mogul hydraulic cam with the following specs:
duration intake and exhaust 223 @ .050, cam lift of .292, valve lift of .514 intake and exhaust, lobe ctrs intake 110, exhaust 114. Is there a better cam that I should be using? I use the car for a daily driver, but like to run it hard. Sorry it's so long but I want to do it right the first time.

Thanks, Todd
