Go with the 390. It's more correct in every way and you cannot tell the difference visually to a 427.

Guys alittle more info on the car from my test drive today.

I didn't monitor the oil pressure all the time and can't give exact RPM's as the tach was not working but during normal driving in town 35-45 MPH in 3rd gear. I never saw the oil pressure over 25-30PSI. I've been looking at this car for a few weeks, ready to buy. The owner has been working on it trying to correct an issue with it running to rich and having a miss. Turns out it had 2 bent rods. The owner of the car seems to be a very honest guy and I think he would disclose any problems that he knew about. I've just had a bad feeling about this car over the last week. Body wise the car with the 460 is in better shape and a newer kit. I've never been so confused on a purchase

I talked to patrickt a few minutes ago and he offered some good advise. Thanks for the help and taking the time to call.

My pleasure. After hearing the condition of the two cars, and more about the FE, I changed my mind.

I think in this case the 460 is the better deal.
