Why can't a 390 make 450 HP? The January 2003 Hot Rod magazine built a 390 to make 450HP and 460 torque. It had the Eldelbrock heads and RPM intake, an 800 cfm carb and 9.68 compression. They built it for 'truck street use". Why wouldn't this set up work for a cobra? My engine is burning an extreme amount of
oil so I am about to rebuild my 390 FE. I had a lot of the same questions that are being addressed in this thread.
Thanks for your help.
