They are the very same heads.

Somebody told me the 360 was weak on the top end.

Re: 390 heads on a 360
the only difference between a 360 and 390 is crank, rods, and pistons.

Re: 390 heads on a 360
Yes you are correct and to add to that, the low compression has nothing to do with the heads. As already noted, all regular FE engines (352, 390, 410 and even the standard 428) usd the same heads in a given year. That is to say a 67 352 and a 67 428 will both have a C7AE-A heads or a 69 360 and 390 will both have the same C8AE-H heads.

"Top end" as in higher RPM HP. 360's are a low RPM torque engine for towing and working hard, like a 300 I6.1982 flareside wrote:Somebody told me the 360 was weak on the top end.
