RE: best FE engine
By Allan - 02/01/2001 4:13:28 PM; IP 12.13.248.14
I'm rebuilding a '65 vintage 390 right now and am trying to figure out a good way to put it back together with a bit more performance without losing reliability. Rusty's description of putting a 428 crank in it sounds interesting, but, raises a few questions.......
If you use the 428 crank, do the 390 rods fit?
Do you have to do anything to the heads to fit the longer stroke?
Is the compression ratio higher?
Is there anything else to watch out for in a change like this?

Thanks
Al
