The reason you can't find performance parts for a 394 is because none exist. Actually, I think Offenhauser still makes a 3 deuce intake manifold for the 394; however, it is hard to come by. I don't know of any other performance parts.

Performance parts for a 394?? Its not only going to be tough, but it is going to be EXPENSIVE. You can find some roller cams / lifters, dual quad intakes from time to time on Ebay. I would recommend a custom ground cam - that would be the easiest performance part you will find. For stock parts, Kanter and EGGE come to mind.

Kanter is a great company. I have ordered parts from them before. A rebuild kit for the 394 is pricey compared to a rebuild kit for a 455 or 350. Check out their website.
