Yes, those sound like good names to me. I used to be an auto mech. till about 17 years ago, and those are the the best brand names that I recall. go for it!

I have used Total Seal rings in two engines and they make really good compression. Nest time I think I'll toss their oil ring though and use a standard tension.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 28-Jun-01 AT 03:14 PM (EST)[/font][p]Go with the Clevite. Check the block. Some 390 FE's were made for industrial/truck use and ended up in regular trucks. They used chrome rings.
