Ok my windsor is bored .04 over so taht makes it roughly a 359. Do these extra 8 cubic inches add much power? if so how much?

The biggest gain you'll feel from boring the engine will be from the bump in compression, not the increase in cubic inches.

Nope, was not me.. I have a 289 with a 289 crank.. My block is a 1968 302 block which was the original 289 block from the factory in 1968. Late in production Ford used a special run of 302 block specifally used on 289's cause they ran out of 289 blocks. They still had a call for the 289's to finish out production that year.

So, what I have is a true blue 289 from 1968 as supplied by ford. The only difference between a 289 block and a 302 block is the longer skirts to allow for the slightly longer stroke of the 302.
