I have a 390 in my 63 Cad and its time for a new motor. I am thinking of replacing it with a 500 and was wondering if anyone had attempted this. Any advise is appreciated.

The 390 and 429 are the same family I believe, but are completely different from the 500/472/425/368 family.

will not work, look at 425 or 472 also, these engine run in the same family as the 500, I just swaped a 500 to a 425 minor differences. Thanks

Why would you want to swap a 425 inplace of a 500?
