		|   The heads are a bad choice for performance because of smaller valves and ports and also a larger combustion chamber.  Some of the 391 blocks had the reinforced webs and some did not.  If you run an auto distributor you will need a bushing. A 391 truck motor is externally balanced.  A 391 truck block can a lot of the time be punched out  to 428 but would need sonic tested first.  This would make a cheap 428CJ block if its is one with the reinforced webs and you have a 428 crankshaft.  One to look for D3TE or D4TE  I hope I helped you.     John  |
