Nice engine bay Kevin.
Easy to tell a 360 from a 390 by doing the "dowel" test. Measure the stroke through the spark plug hole with a dowel at top center and bottom center. about 3.5 inches is a 360 and about 3 3/4 inches is a 390.

That is awesome Kstones63! I really dig your air filter setup, pretty slick. I originally thought about doing the wiring myself but the harnesses from the detailzone look very simple to install. Willowbilly3, I thought about doing the dowel test just for my own satisfaction but, the motor is making some noise at idle, sounds like piston slap but I could be wrong. I'll just run it like it is until I get all the parts together to do the swap then pull the alum. intake off and sell it, give the edelbrock carburator to someone I hate and give the rest of it away or sell it for scrap.
