If you don't mind driving to Durham, HRT Performance has built a 390 or two for a couple of the old NCFTO members. www.handcraftedracing.com
Give them a call and see if they can help you out.

Rick Hendrick's ex engine builder the late Randy Dorton's brother Kieth has a shop in Concord called Motorsports specialist they built my old mustang engine and did one heck of a job. it's a bit of a drive from you but well worth it kieth dorton realy knows his stuff with engines, he builds for a lot of the local race teams both circle and drag race cars.
