390, Junk? I think not. This is one of my favorites! Plenty of poop and mpg wasn't too bad either. My '68 single axle dump had one with a 2bbl carb and 4 sp trans....17-18 mpg!
'72 camper special p/u...same!
easy to work on too.

The 360??/?////??? some have high mileage. Some are truly junk. In Calif. the 360's and alot of other engines had to have EPA equipment installed from the factory. One of the most popular item was to replace the cam timing gear. this would retard the cam shaft and valve timing. These motors would run terrible and get poor mpg and was claimed to produce fewer emmissions....sl
