360 to 390?

I currently have a FT block with a 360 crank, rods and pistons. It has 390 heads. If I were to bore the block .060" over, throw in 390 crank and rods with oversized 390 pistons, think it would. Mostly just curious now, I'm thinking of it for the future though. Think this would make for a good combo. It's in a '79 F150 right now that's my daily driver during the week and my trail monster on the weekends. Thanks, you guys have been so helpful in the past. Keep up the good work.

(still keeps up with the big boys fairly well though,
just use a little more speed in the pit )

One more question. I measured the lift on the cam before I put it in, is .292" a lot? Thanks.

I'm not sure what the first question is but on the cam lift, .292 lobe lift multiplied by 1.73 non-adjustable rocker ratio equals .505 valve lift. It's good but not a lot.

Thanks, that's good to know. I don't want something too radical for a daily driver.
