This is one of those builds that shows that you don't have to buy stroker kits or $4000 engine blocks in order to get big, streetable horsepower. Engine makes 540 hp @ 6000 and runs on pump gas.
We started out with a 390 block, did the normal machine work, then fitted it with the customer's 391 crankshaft that had been ground down to BBC rod journal dimensions. Added some custom Racetec pistons, Scat rods, one of my custom hydraulic rollers, and some Trick Flow heads. Performer RPM intake went on top with a Quick Fuel carb. Pretty vanilla combination.
Customer put it in a '66 Galaxie wagon. 4600 lbs with driver, it runs in the 12's, through mufflers, stock shocks, etc.
