compression/bumper?
Hey guys just joined,cool site. I have a couple questions! I got a 66 bird i'm just about done restoring for my mom,she's always wanted one so i bought it for her last year and am redoing it for her(my cars a 69 GTO)anyway i got a factory 390 long block for it and figured i'd bump up the power a bit for her by puttin on a 4v,alum. intake,flowmaster mufflers and a cam but i'm not sure what the stock compresion is for a 66 390 bird motor i need to find out so i can match a good cam to it,anyone know?
Also the front bumper is strait but the chrome is kinda spoty, they want $500 and up to replate it in my area so dose anyone know where i could find one with good chrome ethier new or used for a little better price? $500 seems a little steep to me :eek: or is that the going rate for these cars? Thanks for any help

Woodward,
The stock 66 with the 390 comes with a 4 barrel--cranks out 315HP and 427ft. lbs of torgue, not bad I'd say. Joe

I'm puttin the new long block in this weekend and just ordered some parts last night....725cfm Demon carb/edelbrock performer aluminum intke/comp cams high energy 268cam/mallory dual point dist/MSD blaster2 coil/carter water pump/carter fuel pump/and a pair of 2 chamber flowmaster's so i think people will be surprised with the power it's gonna have for a classic t-bird....should be more than enough power for my 59 year old mother to have under her foot! :eek: ;) Thanks again for the info
