RE: 289 - 302
the intake manifold and head can be interchanged. i would deff take that 289 and put it in your car you can make them rev out to 9K like its their job. they are race proven engines what do you think were in the old gt40's back in the day when all 3 of them took 1st 2nd and 3rd over every other car the first year they were out. i have a 289 that im gunna throw into a fox now thats gunna be a fast *** car

I believe the 1-2-3 finish at LeMans was won using the 427 powered MKII chassis GT40s, not 289s.
Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon - 1st place #1046 MKII
Ken Miles and Denny Hulme - 2nd place - #1015 MKII
Ronnie Bucknam and Dick Hutcherson - 3rd place - #1016 MKII
