Great point, Patrick and one I am certainly keeping in mind. The only real reason I am going this route, as opposed to say a 347 with Mass-Flo EFI, is personal preference. The originals had an FE engine, so I'm with that. Something about that ridiculously big engine in that car is just hilarious and is what I want to see in it. And the Webers give it that touch of exotica that I love.
I won't get too hung up on the 390 v. 428 block question.
