Yea could be a 351c or 351/400m, they both have the same style heads and valve covers. I've converted a couple propane motors back to gas. The...
Love me some 390's. It takes a little knowledge, but they can be built to run really nice. Awesome torque and even good mpg if done right!
I usually go, it'll probably be pretty small, due to the heatwave we're in. I enjoy it, allways a few bargains.

You can either mill the choke horn and radius the sharp edges or use the stub stack w/ no choke blade. Another source of aiflow is the throttle...
You will need the old timing chain cover, basically everything from the front of a v-belt 302. You'll end up with an extra dipstick if I remember...
I like your x-member and tapered frame rails!!
I used to paint w/centari for a living in the eighties. We allways thinned it at least an extra 10%. Allways go w/ the slowest possible reducer...
That would be tough.
You're correct. We would spray laquer clear over the metalics and commence the color sanding.
Back in my bodyshop days, we used self-etching primer like dupont variprime, then laquer primer sprayed wet on wet ( no need to sand the variprime...
Nice score!
Cool, welcome from East Texas
