does it very that much between years?
and 401 ft lbs of torque is a TON!

390 power

the power didnt vary much beetween years as much as between comppression ratios. the highest power 390 was the 61-62 with 3 carbs and 11.1:1 compression ratio, it made 401 hp and 430 torque. 390s from 66 that came with 4v carbs had 10.5 compression ratio and made 315 hp and 427 torque.
