My guess is that part of the difference in value was that the additional "35" horsepower came with a "wink" from the boys at Chevrolet. Just my $0.02 (pre-tax, of course)

totally different animal... 2 bolt main in the 390 car, 4 bolt in the 435, no tri-power in the 390, hydraulic lifters in the 390 too, solid lifters in the 435. A nice performance car, but nothing like a 435!

Just to make it clear:

L36-390hp
2 bolt main 3904351 block
single 4 barrel

L68-400hp
4 bolt main 3904351 block
3 x 2 bbl carbs

otherwise they use the same cam, lifters, heads and exhaust manifolds
