If you subscribe to the "I can't tell a difference without a lift" test, then have blykins build you a nice stroked and bored 390FE, he'll check the runout on the BH for you, and have him throw in a TKO600 on it. Then have him ship it out to you in a big wooden box. Nobody can tell the difference between an original side oiler and a budget 390 build, in a Cobra, without a lift. Same goes for the transmission. And a five speed really adds to the enjoyment of the car.
