FE build-up for Winter of 04

By Chad Zeilenga - 03/12/2004 2:42:23 PM; IP 4.37.64.164

Hey all,
I haven't posted much on this message board since my stock 390 in my 66 Galaxie hasn't given me any problems. If everything goes right I am going to start planning an FE buildup for my 390 that I will drop into my 66 Galaxie XL. I have a rough idea of output and what I would like to have but don't have much experience with building engines (I'm only 22) and I know there are some very knowledgeable people on this board. I am looking for input into what combo's work well and what parts work well. So here is what I have so far:

I am looking at getting 500-550 HP at the flywheel which should make for a very nice street/strip motor.
Used 390 block with up to a 0.030 overbore
New Forged Steel 390 crank
H-Beam Rods with ROSS or KB pistons
Ported & polished aluminum heads with complete roller rocker setup
aluminum intake
Demon 750cfm carb
electric water pump
electric fuel pump
electric cooling fan
serpentine belt conversion
I am unsure of cam specs but I am investigating those now.
This is just a basic list I have now, but if anyone would like to give me some input and tips I would really appreciate it.
