http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR1KnYFYFoU i just figured i would put up a video of the new 390 i just put in my car.its a standard bore 390 with vinola forged dome pistons {13+1}.is got a big comp-cams solid lifter cam in it.the last 360 i had in it {three weeks ago}was just a stock 70 cast piston{flat tops} motor and the car was running 11.40s at 117.im thinking with the new motor i should be in the low 10s.

For such a small car, how did you get that engine in there?? Wish your camera man would have gotten in closer to the engine bay. Where do you sit??
