RE: 390GT rebuild - ignore if you read it on VMF
By giacamo - 07/15/2004 8:57:36 PM; IP 63.163.157.35
richerd i like to use fed flat top cast pistones thay seam to work good in a stock ap as in a 390 gt engin.and thay give a compression around 10 10.5, new rod bolts are a must if on the second rebild. tweice torked stock ones are at thear limet. i use a melling hv oil pump on all my rebilds on a real hot 390 more pan is a must and a windage tray is good insurance. i also tap all my oil gallery puugs and use allen head plugs in them i hate thouse littel push in tipe plugs, i also use clevite 77 bearings, on the heads i,d stick to the stock ones the gt tipe with the hoeizonal bolt pateran and new hardend exaust seats i see alot of fe,s with eroaded exaust seats.on the cams i love comp cams for the fe engin thay work as avertized i also like using one pice valve spring retainers insted of the two pice ones wich have failed me even on stock rebilds, and a set of hardend push rods,this is a basic rebild and cam selection ifeal can vary depending on weight of car auto or standerd gears ect, but a basic 390 gt camed up a littel will give 325 to 350 hp, my2 cents
