    You mean the Doc's car, not RK drooling, right! Homer is the new icon! To think a Canadian is one of the head writers too. ;)

    Hey Doc, did the patient survive? :biglaugh:

    I wanted to plug that in yesterday, but I had other priorities - like beating the thunderstorm to get my interior finished. :)

    Super job on your wagon. :thumbs2:

    So is that what progress on a restoration looks like? I guess I haven't been making any.:49:
    Keep up the work it's looking fine.

    What are you doing for induction, based on those heads? This is getting real interesting...

    Hal,

    We are really not doing much other than stock. I just went up slightly with the cam...mild...and the heads..well that is the way the shop builds the 390 for the passenger car. We should be around 300 hp..but i decided for multiple reasons to stick with the original intake and 2bbl carb..it was not an easy decision. Should have excellent throttle response.

    Get a 4bbl!
    My dad had a 390 in a '68 LTD Brougham, and man it was hot! And it still got great mileage too, over 25 on the highway.
    And electronic ignition too, I hope. DS2!

    Thanks for the suggestion but this is going to be a light driver for my wife. It will have plenty of power.
    What I do need is the original air intake for it if anyone has a 66-67 let me know.

    Finding a numbers matching factory intake might be near impossible? But a Edelbrock flows a little better than factory if you just get the basic intake.
