Lmao
Milled down the ends .125" and now it lines up with the head ports perfectly. Re-checked the valve lash too.
If only I could have been here to assemble it the first time.
Did have to go find a different set of intake gaskets. The Felpro 1250S3 DO NOT fit 289 heads! It leaves the outside edge of the water ports exposed!
1262's
Vs 1250S3
Vs overlapped

That's what I get for following threads on the VMF.
How many times have I told you not to believe everything you read on the Internet?

I think you just use RTV
Just JB weld the head on. No need to worry about leaks then.
lol Please, nobody actually do that.

All back together and in the car. I'll take it to RPM next month to test it out.
Next race is October.

Sweet!
Almost.
All back together. Ready to fire and then take to track Friday. New fire suppression system done too.
We all know that will come in handy
Ass.
You actually use the turn signal lever while racing???
I like your dash cluster, but have a few questions. What's the large orange or amber light for? No volt-meter? You actually expect to run at 7500 rpms as your normal racing speed?

Lever is a holdover from street duty. It'll be gone.
Amber/yellow/orange...whatever is for high water temp. Comes on at 225*. Just added that one.
No volt meter.
7500 is max rpms before chip kicks in. The motor was made to spin 8k.
Fired right up today. Sounds great, instant throttle response. Idles better at a lower RPM.
