Does anyone make a dual carb intake set up for the 390?

Blue Thunder Makes the intake.

Both DSC and Carls Ford Parts are good sources.

BTW,

DSC runs these as "Buy It Now" on EBAY occasionally with the correct Carbs, linkage, fuel log, and so on. Basically, a complete induction for less than you can put it all together for.

Beware though, the Carbs are about a grand, and regular Holleys do not work right.

If you really want a top end rush, go for a "Tunnel Wedge".

:woohoo:

Lots of vintage ones out there too, including the ones that came on the R code 427s. Be careful if you buy a used Mickey Thompson, it requires a special longer distributor and is worthless without it.
Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.
