From a budget standpoint I still see complete 390's all years from $500 complete needing rebuild. I like the early 390HP engines myself. The 428's are getting expensive as the 427 has been for some time. Some guys like to stroke the 390 with a 428 3.98 crank and have a 410. Do your homework and know what your looking for. If you have some of the rebuild books look at the part and casting numbers to help ID what you find. You can still find some nice deals on a 428 also. I saw one this week for $3200 complete with only 3000 mi since rebuild. Timing is everything. G.
