Thanks for the replys so far. I guess I should be more specific, eh? I'm looking to rev the piss out of this thing, much like the 289 does. I know I'll not see 9k RPM like the 289, but I really like the gears I've got and want an engine that will survive occasional trips into at least the upper 6k's and cruise well in the 2,500 to 3,000 range. Since the 289 is such a small-displacement high-RPM engine, it doesn't have squat down low, but to it's credit, it sounds great at an idle. Like I said before, this is a fun-only car and part of the fun (to me) is a lumpy idle.
Can I even hope to cam a 390 for top-end performance and expect it to stay together at an RPM level that will compliment that choice?

I know NOTHING about FE's except the few things I've read here.

Thanks, Tom
