: Brian, that 67 289 is a good start for a performance motor-the early blocks(289-6 bolt) has more meat around the mains than alate model 5.0 block and the 289 casting is better material. you'ld have to get a Boss block to do any better. Yes the obvious stroke difference also means adifferent length connecting rod and piston compression height. Other than that, I believe all parts are interchangeable.
If you don't want it, let me know!!!
