i am doing a 390 stroker, the nice thing about the 390 is the blocks are cheap to buy i paid 200.00 for a bare block with 57k on it, when it is done should make close to 500 hp and 500 ft lbs of tourque. if i was to do it again i would just purchase a gennisis or pond steel block and do a 482 cid. the parts cost the same when you are buying them but i am now locked in with the smaller pistons and smaller heads and smaller cam so if i want to upgrade to a 482 i will have to buy a lot of things over. so take you time and decide wisely.
