390 motor

Post by tdsmoonchild »

Having trouble finding a 390 motor to rebuild around here. If you have one laying around or know where I can look, give me a shout

Have you ever thought about a 390 crate engine? All of the work is done and the cost probably would be less

What's a trusted source for a 390 crate?

Interesting. Thanks. Didn’t realize they still carried FE crates.

I don’t know how great those VEGE engines are, there are quite a few folks that will build you a motor though... Brent, and Barry to name 2 then there is I think Brett... Oh and of course Ross...

Do you have a 360 now? because if so you only need a 390 rotating assy... or a 410 rotating assy or a 445 rotating assy... :evil:
