Not Ranked
I have wondered why more of the Cobra guys don't consider this option because it give you the original FE looks at a much cheaper price than the 427 engine. I like the 4.125 and 4.250 strokes because I like the BBC 2.200 rod journal size and using the 6.700 long rod. We did one customer a 430C.I. 390 and it worked great. I would try to come up with some real reasonable turn key, dynoed 390 stroker engine if we could get some interest in several of them. The engine we did made about 540HP with our Edelbrock stage 2 heads and hydraulic roller. I wonder if we came up with some package that was 8995.00 to 9995.00 complete of the dyno if we would get much interest.
I also came across some 65 and earlier 390 blocks and got them because I thought someone might need a 65 and earlier block in CA and some other states.
I see no problem with the stroke being bigger than the bore since all we want to do is make power to about 6000rpms. Let me know if we need to put one of these together for you. Hell we can even install some bolts in the side that look like cross bolts. I guess we could start installing cross bolt caps on some of these blocks if that is what people want. Thanks, Keith Craft
