Hi from Europe! First of all I want to say sorry for my English. My 1967 289 engine has been machined and fully rebuilt. It also has a new E-street topend kit from Edelbrock.
The problem. is that oil pressure is around 6PSI at hot idle. Bearings are +0.10 and new, oil pump is fresh new +20PSI...
I am installing the comp cam retrofit dog bone. The holes I drilled don't exactly line up. The rear hole is to the left a bit. Am I screwed or can the dog bone be adjusted/bent?
Thanks!
Hi folks, I have a 1967 289 engine restored 8 years ago with a E-Street top end kit from Edelbrock and DUI distributor. I´ve been unable to finish with this car till this year. When we started it we realized that the only firing order that "works" is the one from a 351 and its imposible to set a...
Hey all, I’m looking at building the 289 in my 1966 mustang. I’m planning on using AFR 165 heads, with the upgraded 8605 spring package. I’m planning on using a hydraulic roller cam which I haven’t decided on yet. I’m going to pull the block and send it to a machine ship to freshen it up and...
Looking at a 65 coupe tmrw. It’s been in a guys yard for a very long time. Current info I know is the paint is ok. There’s is a couple spots of rust that need to be addressed. The floorboards are rotted and taken out. Not sure of interior condition. Original 4 speed 289 4bll. Not sure what code...
I will be selling my 65 Coupe located in MA soon. Just waiting on a brake line kit from CSRP to wrap up the disc brake swap. Trying to determine fair asking price.
Car has clean title (took me almost 2 years to get one after I purchased it about 10 years ago!). Original 289 2V and C4 car...
Hey guys,
Long time lurker and a first time poster here. I have a 66 that I put in storage 10 years ago when I assume I blew a head gasket (water in oil). Before storing I disconnected the radiator and changed the oil And ran the engine with new oil and filter. I then did it again and cranked...
I currently have a 1965 Ford Mustang that I would like to convert from a C4 to a toploader. However I have a couple issues with my upcoming project. The car was originally a 6 cylinder car and still has the original driveshaft and rear. I am not sure if these would need to be replaced for the...

About two years ago now my dad and I starting doing an engine swap on my mustang! It is my first engine swap, my first rebuild and my first car actually!
The 289 belonged to my grandfather so it is very important to me because he has passed away and this engine is one of my last mementos from...

Listed is a Ford Motor Company (FoMoCo) head for a Ford 260 V8. This head is identified as C4OE-O and includes valves, valve Springs, retainers, etc. assembled. The date code on both heads is 4F19 (June 19, 1964), so the intake valve is understood to be 1.67 and the exhaust valve is...
So I know that everyone loves to watch your engine twist when you hit that gas. It just speaks raw power. But when I look at that I see potentially wasted torque. Is there a concrete reason why someone couldn't brace your engine and tranny so that they can't twist and flex so that all of that...
Hello,
As of tonight, l am now a member of StangNet.com all the way from Toronto, Canada. l am looking forward to seeing some of the builds you guys/gals have as well learning more about the 1964.5 - 1970 Mustangs.
My question is regarding replacement spark plugs for the 289 engine currently...
Trying to tune and road test my '67 Mustang 289 V8, but for some reason, the POLYLOCKS KEEP COMING LOOSE, and not always on the same cylinder or bank -- sometimes left, other times, right. I'm confident the valve adjustment procedure and pre-load and zero lash have been done correctly (performed...

Long time reader, first-time poster and I'm seeking some advice on a rocker arm nut issue. I've been working on my '67 Mustang 289 +.030 V8 with a fairly aggressive "street/strip" cam (290/228, .504 lift), Comp Cams Roller Tip "Rail Type" rockers using poly lock nuts (some type from JEGS I...
Hey guys, I'm new here and am going to look at a 67 coupe tomorrow. They say that it has a 302 in it, but I'm trying to find out if its a 302 and not a 289 for sure. I know its not easy to tell unless you know what to look for. I know they didn't put the 302 in until a little ways into 68, but...
