Great looking and sounding 390. But what I always wonder with all the hopped-up FE's is; Have the oil-ways in the block been drilled out, like mine, so the main bearings get enough oil?
Bad designing by F*rd where the oil-ways in block don't line up with the shells. This starves the main bearings on tuned FE's and results in engine failures.
how much horse power cause my dad got pretty the same mottor with 3 carbs the head, header, water pump but my dad got a set of 12.1 pistion with a 650 lift solid cam shaft
actually they have a lawaway program. when u meet half way, then they start building your engine

Wish I could afford to trick out my 390 like that.

@lastmiles I have a 360 as well, why are you dogging on the 360? its pretty much the same thing, but the 390 just has a little bit more stroke right?
