T-bird 390
By Mike - 04/21/2006 11:30:26 AM; IP 12.223.198.147
I am a complete novice when it comes to engines.I have been working on my 65 Tbird body for a long time now and want to be sure that when the engine goes in it makes it all worth while.So the question is I have a stock 390 and am going to at least rebuild it new seals,piston rings,main bearings,and that is about it.Would it be worth/ possible to swap in 428 heads and leave the rest intact?Also would a performance intake/exhaust be a better/wiser move?Any help or suggestions are welcome.
This thread, so far...
