This isn't on the stock bottom end, is it? I don'tknow ifthose valves would clear the factory pistons, and that cam will wind the engine up to 6k (peak power is around 5k), way past what I'd trust the stock rod bolts to.

RE: official build up 289
the possibility of swapping in the 302 from this granada is looming over me also but i cannot find ANY information on the horsepower ratings for the 1975-1980 with the 302 2V - some said 140 hp others said 150 - what's the deal with the power being so low? the compression? if so to get it back up swapping back the old 289 heads would raise it up correct? or is it a piston issue also. any information on that car/engine would be great as i cannot find it at all!
