Has anyone out there put a 390 with a c6 in a 54 merc or ford if so tell me the horror stories because I'm about to do it. Any tips would be helpful.

Thanks Ian

I put a 302 and a C6 in my 54 ford. I was worried the C6 would be too big but it fit with ease. A c6 is overkill for a 302 but I had it on hand, at least I don't need to worry about hurting the tranny.
