One could spec a carb that would accommodate both (with jetting changes), like a QF 700 or similar.
Pistons and rings, I defer to the pros...

You would use the same carb, heads, intake, cranks & rods from a 390 on a 482 build? First and foremost that's an additional 92 cubic inches and second I don't think alot of those parts even fit on both engines.
