please, whatever you do, get that 4 banger out of there! or give it a turbo, at least. my buddy in high school had a 87 4 banger and got beat by his gf's festiva, and also lost to a dodge omni. what a disgrace!

yah, if your going to go carbed, rip all the EFI wiring out, drop your 289 in(bolts right in, btw), different fuel system will be required, new pickup in the tank, etc...

Is there any reason why you would want the 289 specifically? Cause you can put a 5.0L in there and slap a carb on that and you'll get the benifitsofaroller cam and HO firing order. You will have the same fuel issues as stated before with either of the motors.
