    Camshaft Recommendation for somewhat performance 289

    I'm considering the Performer camshaft, but would like to go w/ the Performer RPM heads b/c I may want to go w/ a more radical cam in the future when the car is no longer a daily driver, I see the heads as sort of a long term investment. With that in mind, do you guys think the Performer...

    Tri-Y Headers in '66

    Shorty Headers

    Anyone know of any shorty headers that fit the same as the stock exhaust manifold? Previous owner welded all the pipes together so I'd like to find a pair of shorty headers that I can just bolt up w/o having to cut and re-weld the exhaust system.

    Thanks for all the responses guys, Sounds like my best bet is to just keep saving my money and get some aluminum heads, I can't wait.

    351 Heads on 289

    Anyone know how good 351W or 351C heads would be on a 289? What would be a good cam to match them up with? and How would the heads compare to something aftermarket like Edelbrock RPMs? I would like to get the aftermarket aluminum heads but am trying to make some extra power on a budget.

    What would be better for my new combo, 575 or 650cfm?

    How's your performance now? and what carb do you currently have? I'm asking b/c I plan on getting the Performer RPM heads, intake and cam on my 289. I'll also most likely be getting some tri-y headers like you have. I'll be using my Edelbrock 600cfm. Anyway, just curious as to what I...
