hey you guys. how strong is the stock 289 block? (56k miles on it) by that i mean, can it hold spray? and if so, what size shot? thanks all!

Hey Emp, you still talking to us lowly classic guys

I think you'll find the block can handle it. whether the rest of the engine is up to it is the question.

dcohen

a stock block will handle it

a stock rotating assembly, not so much

haha hey aussie that aint how it is at all! im workin 2 jobs so i can cover both the stangs insurance, gas, and mod money[:@][8D] i love the 65 to friggin death. just wanted to make some quick power for my weekend cruiser.

Aussie66Fastback

keep saving Emp...better to build the power in from scratch than risking destruction of an otherwise good engine.

hows the new model going?

What shot it will hold is going to depends on internal strength, and how much power it's making before the shot.

Aussie66Fastback

not much.
from memory its a c code with very minor mods

yeah its got a 650 holley, rpm air gap intake, lt headers, h pipe, muffs. i really wanna put a cam and heads on it (been sayin that for ever) im must broke as hell right now...but i can get a nitrous kit pretty reasonable from a buddy here.
