I assume it's a 302???? Buy some adjustable pushrods and see what length you will need, every combo is different with cam lobes, heads , rockers, springs, etc. Can't go wrong with Comp Cams or Crane. Trick Flow makes some nice ones but are expensive ($85). No guess on your HP, don't know much about 289 heads. Probably should be close to 400 on the juice.

wow this is an old thread but i too am swapping my new .060 over internals from a 90 block into a better 69 302 block that is already bored to .060. i will be putting a 268 high energy cam in maybe and some 67 289 heads on it. i need to know if i can use some stock non roller pushrods from a 90 truck or 76 mustang II or do i have to get some 289 pushrods.
