I just did a compression test on the ol 289 and it's even worse than I thought it was, I got between 80-90 psi on all of the cylinders, so now I'm wondering if anyone on here knows of a good place to take a 289 for a rebuild around here. Hopefully someplace that knows ford engine's well.

there is a really good shop in rossville called Race Engine Design, which is right outside of chattanooga. their number is 706-866-3000

I don't know if they are near you but Southern Automotive has a VERY good reputation. They sell crate engines mainly but I'd be surprised if they don't also rebuild engines.

Sorry, new to the area, but isn't Mustangs Unlimited up there in Lawrenceville? Surely they know of a decent LOCAL machine shop to give you a nice stock+ rebuild. I'd see who they recommend.
