I finally got permission from the ole lady to get a new engine for the stang. I ran across a 390. Thats all built up. A guy built it to put it in his cobra kit car but decided not to do it. He opted for a 427. The engine dynoed at 435hp.
Or My father said he would buy the 390 for his 67 fastback and sell me his Hipo 289. The 289 has been dynoed at around 350hp. Aluminum heads, 650 Edelbrock, Headers,crane roudh idle cam, Msd ignition. The engine has been bored .030 over. Ported and polished. Im not sure which route to take. I havent heard anyone putting in a 390. And i think the 289 would fit easier. Anyone have any suggesttions? The 390 has never been ran other than on the dyno. Its still on the crate. The 289 has around 5,000 miles on it.......
