I'll be shortly doing 1 of 3 things soon.
Getting my '66 289 rebuilt (w/ ported heads and stronger cam)
Getting a remanufactured 289
or Getting a remanufactured 302 HO Roller block.
Along w/ one of these options I plan on getting tri-y or shorty headers and possibly an edelbrock rpm or weiand stealth intake .
Now, a few questions for you fellow Mustang guys.
How much better stock is a 302 HO Roller over an old ('66) 289? anyone have hp/torque stats?
also, if I get a 302 HO Roller short block can I use my old ('66) 289 (possibly soon to be ported) heads on them?
Any advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
A few more things, my budget is roughly $2000. And the car is a daily driver so I would be willing to sacrifice some hp for real good throttle response. My goal is 300-350hp at the flywheel. Is this even possible w/ just ported heads and different cam on my 289?
