RE: horsepower By Stanley Superior - 01/24/2001 1:46:11 AM; IP 209.95.221.99 Ben,I think you'll be hard pressed to squeeze 400 ponies out of a combo using stock Ford parts. The heads are the biggest stumbling block in the system. You will definately want to use headers for your build-up because the stock log type manifolds are working against the exauhst system. Edelbrock heads would be the best way to go with this set-up because the factory castings flow only marginally better than the old flathead and Y-block V-8's. Streetable is a reletive term,it all boils down to what your definition of streetable is compared to next guy's definition of what streetable is. For a truck application,you want torque,and lots of it. Forget about trying to make a 360 run good,go with the 390,its got more inches!

This thread, so far...
