The engine currently runs great has plenty of go its definately not worn out. it just sat long enough the valve stem seals hardened and no longer do their job causing a nice smoking issue. stud snapped on the head for the headers so theres an exhaust leak... seals i can fix in car but the stud broke by the shock tower hence forth to fix the engine has to be removed as theres barely even finger room between heads and shocktowers.
Idle Oil PSI 15-20 2000ish-2500ish RPM is 30-40, foot to floor 50-60PSI, pops off first starter revolution as long as it hasnt sat for long time.
so i figured if im pulling the engine i had the resources to do Cam/Heads/Intake while its out and get more out of my lil lady as for being 390 or not...im pretty sure when i got it that i checked the casting code on block..but now your have me second guessing myself..
