RE: Another ? for Paul, Shoe and others! By Paul M - 08/07/2001 2:56:11 AM; IP 24.20.44.11 Very possible. And, very likely it isn't a 330, because of the aforementions parts. There were alot of 105 blocks that were bored out to 428 dimensions, as service blocks, and many 360/390's (same bore) as well. Considering you had 360 pistons in it, you've already got the same bore as a 390. What you need now is a 390 crank, rods, and pistons. The flywheel is supposedly 1/2 inch bigger surface for the clutch disc on the 390, (compared to a 360) but this I don't know for sure; that's if you're running a manual trans. Otherwise, you'll need to find a 390 flexplate, as I believe the 330md was a different tooth count. (I wont SWEAR to it, though!) Best to have the block sonic mapped if you intend to do anything serious with it, and if it has enough wear (taper) in the cylinders. It's not necessary, but it's cheap insurance.

This thread, so far...
