Deal!"silverblueBP" said:I'll autograph it for ya!

I have in mind something like this...
Truer words have never been written."silverblueBP" said:Besides, as often as I break things, I need a spare motor.

At least I'll be able to drive it until I get around to building another high revving 289.
"silverblueBP" said:Engine update
86-302 block, rods and pistons are the new base for the street motor. Crower hydraulic cam with .425" total lift, new timing set, SFI balancer, 1966 289 heads, heavily ported with stock rockers. Decked the block .030" to get the pistons at the top of the cylinders and the block was already bored .040" over which did not need anything other than a quick hone (the machine shop checked it all over). I have a used performer intake and I'll re-use my 650DP, Canton pan and Tri-Y's. All in for just under $2K. This engine will get a 5,500 rpm chip and will NOT see any track time!
Since it's an 86 block, It needs a bracket made so the clutch equalizer pivot has a place to live.

I will sell you that engine with the car attached............track ready!"silverblueBP" said:I do agree a new block, 4 bolt mains and a forged crank are great ideas. Maybe I'll build the next one to run 8K rpm's :confu
"Shaun" said:Why do you need a high revving track motor? Build a stroker with good torque and keep it under 6500rpm. It'll last a lot longer and be cheaper than going to 7500rpm.
