Ford Fe 390 engine horsepower?

Nov 23, 2008 by NANCY C | Posted in Ford

I have a 1968 Ford 390 and I was wondering if someone could punch this info up on desktop dyno or give me a ballpark figure on how much horsepower it has. It has a set of C8ae-h heads that have been shaved .030 with 2.08 intake valves and 1.66 exhast

without more specifics, I would guess between 300 and 400 hp

I would get it dynotuned, it'll tell you what you have and the same time optimizing what you got..thus paying for itself
