I appreciate all the info you guys gave, but after finding out that my goal of 500hp/tq is to pricey with that current setup I decided to ****** the 289. My friend found a better deal on a 302 for me that has had some work done dont know if its a rebuild of stroked tho but it was done in the last year, so how easy is my goal of 500hp/tq. i also snatched the block because my V8 tranny bell housing didnt work and i pissed. So i wasted about 10hours of work, but i guess the bright side is im experienced in putting one in noww so it'll take hlf the time this go around im going to pick up a c4 w/aod this after noon. HOw do i get my goal with this motor?

for 500 reliable hp you will need something other than a stock block. And if you stay with a 302 cid, PLEASE use a 5.4" 'h' beam rod.
