Defentily go with an FE. U can find lots of 390s in junk yeards from trucks and stuff like that. Edelbrock makes a good intake and heads for it also. Get ur self a good c-6 Mine is by art carr with a TCI manule valve body. Yes beff up the suspinsion. I just bought 5 1/5 leaf springs with racing shakcles to take the 3 leaf springs place. If it is just a drag car. U can find allthe same type of things like u would use on a late model. Like i have moroso front drag spring with the lakewood 90/10 shocks and the 50/50 rear. With south side lifter bars. U can run as fast as u want i have seen 600 HP 390s NA. U can put any carb. nitrous kit on there and go faster also. I hope this helps some.
