| rebuilding a 390 for my 62 Galaxie |
| By Lanse Derrick - 09/21/2003 2:30:14 PM; IP 66.119.33.135 |
I am 18 and own a 62 Galaxie 2 dr ht for my everyday car. She needs a new engine so I'm going to buy a 390 from a local core supply and rebuild that so that I can have a car while I'm rebuilding the engine. I NEED EXPERRINCED SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT PARTS I SHOULD GET, MACHINING, AND ANY GENERAL TIPS. I am not extremely concerned with keeping the car completely stock. I am going to be driving this car daily but I also want as much power as reasonably possible, while keeping within my budget (~$3,500 finished). Right now I have some ideas of what I am getting but they are not concrete:
~390 short block
~390 4-bbl heads
~FPA tri-y headers
~750 cfm carb (holley or edelbrock undecided)
~Petronix flame thrower ignition
~Edelbrock Perf. RPM intake manifold
~Edelbrock Perf RPM cam
~Keith Black Silv-o-lite Hypereutectic Pistons
thats all i can think of off the top of my head. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE! |
