Larry, my 390 2v setup is going like this

By Steve M - 03/14/2004 2:00:18 PM; IP 172.141.21.60

Larry, right now I have a 390 2v that I bought the edelbrock performer manifold for. I bought the hooker super comp headers for it and a holley 650. I am getting help from everybody right now on which cam to use. I am going for power to be built the sooner the better on the rpm band for me because my big ole galaxie weighs so much. The first thing you need to ask yourself is what are you going to use the car for. I want to drive my car to work everyday and I want it to have a reliable setup and only go to the track a couple of times a year to let her run free. The guys here know a lot about these motors and can help you greatly. The hooker headers look like they bolt ok, but somebody on here told me to check a weld bead on one of the ports and they were right. They said I would have an exhaust leak on one side and I did. That is how much these guys know about the FE motors. Good luck with your setup and I will let you know how everything goes when I put these new parts on if it ever gets warm here in Ohio..

This thread, so far...
