    390 H.P numbers?

     



    Hey guys, I am just curious what my H.P gains are with this 390 I have built. Here are the specs.

    68 Block
    1969 428 CJ Intake
    1969 428 CJ Water Pump
    Mallorally Promaster Ignition Coil
    Edelbrock 650 CFM Carb 4V
    Ford 427 CJ Mechanical Cam

    Any Ideas?

    so basiccally you have created a 428 cj type engine and by installing the smaller carb probably only killed off 50- 80 HP

    Sweet. Since the 428 had 410 HP, and 450 with better headers, im probably close to 350HP since I have custom headers and a true dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Thanks
