Question 390 rebuild ?

I was just wondering if anybody had an opinion on the best rebuild kit that I should purchase for my 390?

Check out Performance Automotive Warehouse (PAW). They will have everything you need, from just a stock rebuild to high performance. As far as what brand, I don't know. I would go with forged aluminum pistons and moly rings, though. They will last and they are pretty strong. Clevite makes really good bearings and you might want to look into a roller timing chain. The roller timing will free a couple of horses. PAW has all of the name brands as well as their own, if you want to save money.
