I am trying to find the parts needed to build a high performance 1961 390. Seems all the old go fast parts have dried up.

I was going to build a dual 4bbl 390 at one point, but opted for stock in the end. It was for a 53 Hudson. With the Sky cam and new pistons, it would have made around 290 bhp SAE net.
