I got in the wrong area with this post and just found my way here. I got a 390 FE .030 over and want to put some higher compression piston in my 1969 truck engine. I read some where in here that I should use car piston that I would get better compression. I will be running edelbrock aluminum heads and intake. Hope to fine tunnel port heads and intake and top it off with a 780 Holley. I now not to count on great gas mileage

You also might pull the heads and verify what pistons you have now before buying new pistons. You never know, the previous builder may have given you what you think you want now.
