ok ive been pondering this for awhile since a 302 and 289 have the same block just a different stroke right well if u buy a 347 stroker kit for a 302 and put it in a 289 would u then in turn have a 289 stroked to a 347

 

Uh beavis... huh huh heh... this guys a geenyus...

 

ya you would but i would fina a 302 block to do that to and preserve your 289 for its not a common engine like the 302

 

it nothing but a 30 ove rbore and a little cylinder notching a good choice is also the 331 they have a longer life expectancy and u dont have to notch the cylinders

 

i wasnt askin this cause im gonna do it i was just wonderin cause i had never heard of anyone doin it before

 

listen to brandon, keep the 289 and just find a ole 302 then buy the kit.

 

You could do it without too much problem. The big problem would be the bellhousing bolt pattern. Many older Windsors had a 5-bolt bellhousing instead of the more popular 6-bolt pattern, making them harder to find trannies that fit.

 

yet another reason to listen to me plus 289 internals more expensive and harder to come by in good/new condition versus a 302 which was used for 30yrs

 

dont worry all i wont be messin with a 289 like that and the main reason is i dont have one i just have a 200


i was just wondering y no1 talked about it and now know y

 

well then get one
