Dropping a 390 into the engine bay of a 66 requires major reconstructive surgery - removal of the shock towers, revision of the entire front suspension etc. The 390 was not a factory option until 67 when the engine bay was made wider to accept it. I totally agree with everyone's advise of sticking with the 302/351 combo in this car.
