69 390 build
I'm an old Chevy guy but a friend of mine wants me to rebuild a 390 for him. He's looking for a street machine that will also be able to crusie 65 on Hwy. He likes low end torque, a bit of a lope at idel.
We paln on doing the standard machine shop stuff, valve job on the heads, shaved if nessasary, hot bath the block, check for deck straightness. bore/hatch as needed.
Budget is around $2,000.00
This is my first 390, I have gone through my own 302 twice, any big differences?
Other than a standard rebuild kit we are looking at a Comp 33-238-4 cam and a 700 cfm Edelbrock on a Performer PRM intake with headers.
What do you think?
