289 with 69 351 heads with a good port and valve job all the usuals a dual quad holman moody intake manifold or edelbrock air gap dual quad two holley 4150's at 350-390 cfm's each, new valvetrain w/hotter cam about 480-520 lift and290 duration which is verysimilar to the k code and boss 302 camshafts, I built this exact engine for a friends car with the holman moody intake, the engine would freely rev to right at 700 rpms and was an absolute screamer...

just curious as to how that combo sucks its a good not to aggresive package that has amazing mid to top end but i welcome your input, i mean true its more a high revving street/road race oriented package i dont worry about quarter mile times so much i build race engines mostly road race engines so thats what i know and was tryin to give him an alternative as i like seeing cars with original engines i hate it when people stick clevelands in 69's and 302's in earlier than 68's etc.

RE: anything but my 289
well i guess i should start road racing and quit drag racing, cause it isn't fast enough. Ialmost have the exact combo, the differences are i have a600cfm carb and 12:1 pop up pistons.

The grass is always greener on the other side. You always want what you dont have! Besides, everyone has different opinions, and mine says, stick with that 289, get it to be a good driver, not just a race car( im just relizing this) -Jon

RE: anything but my 289
dennis wells of well's racing told me that they were forged .400 dome, but all that was on the piston was a part #. I tried to look it up on the internet and never found anything. I'm either going with a roller 302, or buying aluminum heads to stick on there now and get the 302 later on. And before anybody bashes me for doing this to a 65-66 mustang, it's a 69 so just relax. It shouldn't have a 289 in it anyway.
