well, heres my official list -

Pro Comp 175cc heads - 60cc combustion 2.02 / 1.60
Edelbrock Performer RPM intake
Holley 600CFM Carburetor w/ 1" Spacer
Patriot Tri Y Headers
Comp Cams XE268 Cam
1.6 Roller Rockers
Pertronix Flamethrower Distributor
Canton Oil Pan with upgraded windage tray

again i was only looking for 300 hp but i feel i'd be at least somewhat over that mark. i'll let everyone know how it all turns out

Do you already have the heads?

Starfury

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.

SalikDDD

already got the heads, stock bottom end, vavles clear the factory pistons, Roush 180's clear also with smaller valves. cam wont wind the engine up to 6K

im shooting for 400 out of my 289, but its getting all the goodies, afr heads, hyd roller cam, roller rockers, air gap intake, and everything is gonna be balanced, so it should hold together




oh, and its bored .60 over (not my choice, somebody else did that before i got the car)

Starfury

Yes, it will. I ran that cam in my 331 for a while and it really likes to wind up.

Starfury

Pick up a new block, .060 is way too much. SBF's use thin-wall castings, so .040 is about as far as you can take it without serious overheating issues in most cases, and I wouldn't even take it that far. 5.0 blocks are a dime a dozen, not enough to justify trying to use a .060 overbored block.

dcohen

no more than i will be driving the car .60 shouldnt be too bad

i definetly plan on an aluminum radiator and anything else that will help keep her cool

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!

tarafied1

they had a retarded cam and low compression. early heads would help and so would cam swap.
