And I wanna throw a cam kit in it with valves, rockers, springs... The works. How to I go about matching all the parts. And knowing how to choose the right lift and stuff for the cam. All the help will be much appresiated

Do you have a 360 or a 390 or a 360 that you want to make into a 390?
What fuel is available to you to operate this motor?
What duty will the motor be asked to do? Towing, cruising, long runs on the freeway?
What vehicle will the motor go into?
What's the curb weight of the vehicle?
What's your budget for this project?
What's the rear end gear ratio of the vehicle?
Will this be a daily driver or a drag vehicle or a little of both?
Loosen up dude and tell us what you want to do and all the details.
