Not Ranked
Hey Paul,
I have ran a 428 bored .060 over and I had all sorts of problems, primarily heat. I have a friend that is very happy with his 390 PI engine and it has plenty of power in his Cobra.
Unless you intend to race your engine I would either find a true 428 CJ or find a good 390 that can be bored out to .030 over and use most of the parts you have. I am not a fan of overboring an engine.
Someone help me here, isn't a 390 block that uses a 428 crank a 410 cu in engine that was used by Mercury's racing teams in NASCAR during the early 70's? I would think a good 390 might be much easier and cheaper to find in Europe than a 428.
Good Luck with what ever you decide to do! Keep us posted.
