		| This 390 is going along with a C6 (both original for the car - 69 cougar)...  One of my friends is a diehard Chevy guy, he is building a 396 for his 72 Chevelle, and keeps talking trash about how his engine will whip mine.  And about how my tranny sucks.  I really don't care, i'm building it for my own enjoyment and satisfaction, but I will laugh if I beat him once on the street.  But that isn't a goal of mine, like I said.  I know torque is good on the street, and I should be putting out a whole lot of it.  How much do you think would be an approximate guess?  |
