This may sound like alot but try rebuilding yours for that price. Plus it's a 390.

Hey folks, am I correct that a 390 is just a stroked 360?
I guess what I'm asking is there any machining of the block or heads required to turn a 360 into a 390?
Not trying to hijack the thread. I figured the OP could use this info as well.
Thanks
