nickthegenius said:What year 289 do you have? That might help us out. Also, why go with a 289 when 302s are a dime-a-dozen and a few extra cubes? Is it FI or carbed?
007 said:289?I'd call T&J performance or VT for a forged motor. What blower did you buy? blower specific to a 4V or a 2V? I'd get a regular aluminum forged 281 myself with ported heads and blower cams. You could perhaps try a 5.4 motor but youll need a big cowl. Dont bother with a stroker, but larger bore would be nice. I'm not sure they recommend the larger bore blocks for boost tho. Just call VT or T&J and tell them what you want.
reeber said:I ordered the Vortech V2 S-Trim Polished without any aftercooler. Woops.. I didn't realize my type-o of 289.. yeah.. Its a stock 4.6L that I am replacing. Who's VT? I already spoke to Tim and T&J.
007 said:Can the S trim support 600rwhp?? (also, no aftercooler!!!)
www.vtengines.com (but it seems their site is down right now?)

reeber said:I know.. type-o... My bad.. There are just so many options for engines and heads, cranks, etc... Anyone know the approximate cost of an engine swap to what I am looking for as far as results?
