He built the entire engine including the heads. This is the second 390 he built me. I bet the guides are fine and within tolerance   If it is the valve steam seals why does it not smoke when I first state it

It has stock heads. I had it rebuilt by a machine shop I use about 20000 miles ago. It is smoking while holding back my camper going down hills in 3rd gear. I called the machine shop and he said sounded like it needed new valve seals.

I was just wondering in general if a 390 would wind up faster and easier than the 360 both being stock engines.

I think you would be a lot more happy with a 390. I have had 460s and will take the 390 any day. I have ran one in my 79 bronco for over 20 years. Just get a crank and rods for the block you have now.

I just installed a tach in my 74 one ton that I was told had a 390 in it years ago when I got it. My 79 bronco has a balanced 390 with comp cam. I have often wondered if the ton had a 360  Anyway My bronco will wind up to 5 grand no problem and is pulling hard. My ton truck once it gets to 3 grand sounds like it is about to sling a rod. Anyway  what to you guys think ?

I will remove the filter and see what happens. I have checked the bolts all are tight. Let me find a picture of it hooked up to the camper
