Bought a 390 out of a pickup for 50 bucks. Is there any differences between this one and one out of a car. Going to start tearing into it tomorrow.

Probably not other than compression ratio if the truck motor is a 70s smog motor.

The trucks had 2V induction, 2V intake ports are smaller than 4V. Other than that They are basically the same. You will need to find 4V heads, these are plentiful and not too hard to find or expensive.

Your thinking 351Cleveland, there is no difference between 2v and 4v heads. Either engine could have got the taller port heads during the two or so year period when there were both size ports available, for example the 390GT got the C8AE-H heads which were also on engines such as the 360 2V that was in my 72
