I am doing a big project on a 390 and I would like input from everyone on what steps they would take to get the most out of the engine. The heads are c8ae-h. Also, anyone know where i could get a 4 speed manual???

1rst, add headders. They are worth more power on an F.E. than other engines due to the F.E.'s restrictive manifolds. 2nd, 4v intake and carb. You'd be amazed how much power you instantly pick up. 3rd Cam. same as other two. The stock grind is way tame and is out of breath just after 4,000 rpm.
