RE: Is a 289 really that repectable?
My next engine build will be a 289,,,, a friend just gave me the block today....
It will be a High RPM screamer...... I have always wanted to build a short stroke screamer....
My friend also gave me a crank, pistons, and rods... I wish he had given me this stuff a while ago... I would have given it to My77Stang when he needed them.....
Timing is everything....

I have been looking at that the last couple of days. GT40P flow a little better but you can't use stock headers. I bought some today for $225.00 local. They are heads off a 98 9900or later V8 Ford Explorer.
