Ì wanted introduce myself as a new member, so thanks JB for approving my membership and hello FE world.
. So I buy this 63 Galaxie with a 390 in it, and first thing i say it needs is more Power(say it like tim the tool man taylor), and until I can find and afford a 427 I’ll be adding these items.
390 GT 335HP/390 cam (FMC #C6OZ-6250-B)
Duration at 050 inch Lift:
206 int./220 exh.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio:
0.487 int./0.496 exh
115 Lobe to be installed at 111
Factory A1AE 6090A heads w/CJ intake and exhaust valves
New springs with .600 Max lift
Harden valve seats
Kugel exhaust manifolds
So I have been reading about this engine and learned a lot here on this forum and my question is before install are there any changes you guys would make to improve the top end
Thanks. Ron
