360 & 390 engine differences

What are the differences between the 360 & 390 engines in a truck?

What is needed to convert over to a 390 from a 360?

The 360 and 390 are basically the same. They share almost every thing and the only difference is the crank rods and pistons. Conversion is easy.

To be more specific, the 360 and 390 have the same bore, at 4.05 "

The 360 stroke is 3.5" and the 390 has a 3.78" stroke.

You can use the same block, and a 428 crank (3.98" stroke) to build a 410 as well.

In general, more stroke results in more Torque at lower RPMs for these motors.
