I have a 65 stang with a 289,Ive owned 302's also..I think the 289 has a hell of alot more power.And its pretty much stock.The only mods to my 289 are,bored 30 over/with a 4 barrel/and aluminum intake..it seems like it has the horsepower alot quicker on take off than 302's do..

: More stroke more torque ,( but some 289s did have some better valve sizes in them)its been a while since iv done one but i think tht the only difference are the piston skirts. someone please correct me if im wrong!!

: : Talking to someone today and he said that a 289 will bolt up to a mav without any modification...
: : advantages? disadvantages??
