yesterday i help my budys father pull out his 390ci out of his 67 mustang gta, its getting rebuilt and hes aiming at 400hp, witch im pretty sure isnt a big deal for such an engine.
it went pretty smooth, rented a cherry picker for 30$ he had previously remove everything that had to be removed , i took out the tranny x member and we yanked it out slowly removing forgotten wires/grounds on the way out.

buddy humping the tranny

and then he realized his bolts where'nt long enought to fit in the engine stand so just let it sit for the night

To bad it's not the four valve, 400hp would be ezpz

do you mean 4v? as in 4 venturis, cuz those didnt have 4valve per cylinder

Just sold my 460 few weeks back

OM NOM NOM NOM

There was a 2 valve and 4 valve 390 made...

stop my sides they hurt.

The 390, with 390.06 cu in (6.4 L) true displacement, had a bore of 4.05 inches (102.87 mm) and stroke of 3.785 inches (96.14 mm). It was the most common FE engine in later applications, used in many Ford cars as the standard engine as well as in many trucks. It was a popular high-performance engine;[35] although not as powerful as the 427 and 428 models, it provided good performance, particularly in lighter-weight vehicles. The 390 cu in (6.4 L) 2v is rated at 265 bhp (197.6 kW) @ 4,100 rpm, while the 4v version was rated at 320 bhp (238.6 kW) @ 4,100 rpm in certain applications. Certain 1967 & 68 Mustangs had 390 4v engines rated at 335 horsepower (250 kW), as did some Fairlane GTs and S code Mercury Cougars. When the 390 was first offered for 1961 model there was a 375 horsepower (280 kW) High Performance version that featured an aluminum 4bbl intake manifold, cast iron "header" style exhaust manifolds, 10.5:1 compression ratio and a solid lifter valve train. Many of these cars came with an aluminum 3x2bbl intake manifold in the trunk that was meant to be installed by the dealer and raised the engine's output to 401 horsepower (299 kW).

that's from wiki

i don't know anything about 390's dough.

someone explain 4v vs 2v? like 2 intake / 2 exhaust

or is it refering to the carb. I've heard of 4barrel/2barrel

P.s. completely ignore the fact that I own a girly version of this car

2v

4v
