FE Technical Forum / Re: Adding power to a 390 help
« on: February 07, 2018, 12:22:49 AM »
Ok so I think I have a plan. I'll use edelbrock heads, edelbrock rpm performer intake, recurved distributor, a custom cam to fit my needs, Headers (I like what I read about FPA), bigger duals and a holly 4bbl. I'll figure out the C/R but I'm sure it's just the stock 8.5, which I know isn't ideal but I can't seem to find a reputable machine shop in all of Ontario. Plus I'm still going to run the shift kit, 2500 stall and posi with 3:55 or maybe 3:73 gears.

I think I can do all this in my budget of 12 grand. That's the plan so far if anyone see's an issue with it please let me know. I'm pretty green to performance work, so I appreciate everyone sharing their knowledge with me. Thanks

This is great, lots of information. Where would I find out the best cam for my application? I use the truck as just a cruiser, I don't tow or work it.

Yes it is an actual 390. I've been looking at the whole top end kit including cam, I believe edelbrock calls it a power package. I don't know the head's because from what I've read they're not worth putting money into so I figured it'd be better to just replace all of it. I plan on headers too and maybe a bigger exhaust as it only has 2 1/4" duals

Hello, I own 76 F100 shortbox with a 390,c6 and a 9" with 3.00 gears. This truck is my weekend toy in the summer and I'd really like to add some more power to it. The 390 is just a rock stock 2bbl however it's been rebuilt about 5 years ago and run like a Swiss watch, I was looking at edelbrocks top end kit 2044 and was wondering if this was something I could install or would it just end with wreclimg my bottom end? I also plan on putting a shift kit and 2500 stall in the truck as well as a 3:55 posi. I'd appreciate any help or advice with this, im open to suggestions, thanks
