Didn't the 390SE's come with an NCK throttle / plenum with was bored out to 72mm already?
Nope. My car has (or rather had) standard plenum, trumpets, airflow meter and 3.5L injectors. Others I've seen were the same. It's not impossible that some cars had more changes than others from standard but so many cars have been chopped and changed now that it'd be difficult to determine what was original.

Mine did have 93.5mm Omega pistons, shortened valve guides, standard valves on dual springs, adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a lot of manifold and head porting work by NCK... but not much else, although it has gained duplex and vernier-adjustable timing gear, shorter trumpets and fatter injectors in its life.
