Barring the resale issue. You could build a fabulous motor around a 390 block, better than most FEs around... but convincing a buyer it's "as good" will be an uphill battle when he's looking at 428 and 427 cars.

Does it make sense? No. Is a 390 in any other way a bad choice? No.

Builder's choice... pays yer money and takes yer chance. You could, of course, lie at resale time... :P
