I have a 1965 289 block, 302 dO0E heads, a 270h comp cam, .60 over speed pro flat top w/4valve relief pistons, performer rpm intake, edelbrock 600 cfm carburator, cheap headers, and all the rest of the parts to put it together. My question is what kind of hp would that setup make and would it fit nicely into a 90 mustang with a 2.8l? The car will be used mainly for burnout contests and taken down a drag strip a couple of times.

Only serious answers please!

Also i know u shouldn't go .60 over but my friends mom gave me these parts when he died. She asked me to build a motor using those parts and put it into a mustang! I have never built any type of a ford engine before. SO any advice would greatly be appreciated.

should make a little over 200hp. and this isnt a tech question.

289s came stock with around 220hp, i think it'll atleast make more then that.

Why is this in the Mustang II section?
You're probably looking at about 250HP with the listed extras. I suggest you upgrade your trans and rear end. Otherwise you might damage something.
