    Rebuilding the 289

    Depends on alot of components working together. I firmly believe, ANY stroker motor should be blueprinted. $$$ big part. If you get into blueprinting, some crate motors are hard to beat. I believe ALL DSS blocks are balanced & blueprinted, but FMS are just off the line motors. NO...

    rebuild process

    after all that, there's only a few steps left for a blueprinted motor. Better prep work gives you SUPERIOR end work. might as well go all the way!

    rebuild process

    do you like to hammer your motor?:D planning on power adders later on, you always want more power after a build. you just get the itch. If so, I'd go with the blueprinting also. no sense worrying about the bottom end. stock rods can handle quite a bit when prepped.

    Anyone need 427 parts or engine?

    thanks, found their website. it seems most FE builds out there are the same. except the high end builders. but definitely looking at an FE build in the future.

    Fixing Poorly Made Fiberglass Parts (warning: lots of pics)

    Was this your first try at fiberglass? Must say also, the fit after looks great!! Nice gaps! Like someone said earlier, if your attention to detail is this good, I can't wait to see her when you're done!! You should be on cloud nine, with the way it turned out!

    throttle spring help

    That's why I never liked looking at a stretched spring, made to fit where it's not supposed to. A proper mount is the key. I suppose you could fab a bracket to the carb mounting bolt.

    I need to ship a bumper

    He might mean Greyhound? Rates went up again just at the new year I believe. Freight at 'terminal to terminal' would be the cheapest.
