Hey guys, just wanted some alternate opinions from some others.....I have a 67 Galaxie that is torn down and the 390 is out to be rebuilt...it was my wifes car and was going to be our daughters first car. I was able to get a 66 Mercury Parklane for a steal and now that is the daughters first car (with a 410 in it now less)....anyway, I was thinking of putting the 390 into my shoebox and wanted your opinions on that? I originally was gonna put a 302 stroked to a 347, but now that the Galaxie is gonna be awhile, why not use the 390? I am in the process of putting a front clip in the shoebox so it would be beefed up enough to handle it but any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, James
