You'd need to do a full repaint to rectify that.

You're right. I looked closer and the left and right sides of the stripes on the hood are way off.

I had a full blown tunnel port in a Galaxie once and I traded it for a 390 HiPo as it wouldn't run under 4500 RPM and was worthless on the street. It made a ton of power at the high RPMs but I wanted a street motor.

Same experience here back in the day in my '61 Starliner. I guess one trick was to epoxy-fill the ports to make them smaller, according to Blykins. Didn't know any of that stuff back then. I also got rid of mine and replaced it with a 406, then a 427 MR. Good times and I miss them all!
