You'll need the crank, rods, and pistons, to make it into a basic 390.

Considering the 360 was a truck-only engine, the cam (and consequently the lifters) should be upgraded. Not sure of the 360 cam specs, but 360's are pretty doggy, and a better came with the 390 rotating assembly will wake it right up.

Induction should be a consideration as well. Truck intakes were generally made for low RPM work. A Performer RPM, or maybe a PI or such wiould be a vast improvement.
