Rebuilt 390 by me
It was a balmy 34 here last week before it went to below zero here now. But I was abale to fire this engine up and break in the cam and stuff. Granted it has the old re-used VC's but turned out very well. Was a copy grind of a Lunati Voodoo cam 390 9.5 2V pistons, T 4V manifold with 1" spacer, 1850 Holley, Flo-Tech headers. basically just a good old budget build for a bumpside.

Sounds good and tight Like Stepside (RIP) once said "firing a new engine and letting it run is like hearing a newborn child cry for the first time"
