So I was wondering what you guys think of my engine build?? Engine swap will be within the next couple months, hopefully: - 1966 Mustang 289 Block - Bored .40 over - Speed Pro forged pistons - Crane CAM (cam specs are unknown) - Crane CAMS aluminum roller rockers - Rebuilt 66' heads - Wieland Stealth hi-rise intake - Road Demon 625CFM carb - MSD electronic ignition - Summit Racing long tube headers Rearend: 8" open diff. with 3.25 gears Transmission: TCI Sizzler with 2000 stall Currently has a 302 with edelbrock performer intake, summit racing headers, Road Demon carb and MSD electronic ignition. Thats about all I can think of for now...
I have the same transmission in my mav now with a 2500 stall. It has been perfect for the last 7 years, but when I put my upgraded 5.0 roller in I'm going with a t-5... I just bought the same intake for my new engine, I hope it performs well, I've always used edelbrock but want to try something differant...
Why would anyone spend the money and effort to build an engine with "unknown cam specs"? A 302 with all other components being equal will always be more "torqy".
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I bought the motor used from a guy a few years ago that had it in a 66' Comet that he raced. He never told me all the mods or cam specs, all he told me was what he knew off the top of his head.
So, good news! I got some more specs on the 289 from the guy 2day. 1966 289, Bored .40 over, Speed Pro forged pistons with Molly Rings, Stock rods, Stock crank turned .010, COMP Cams double roller timing chain, CRANE Cams (Blue Racer) cam (.264 duration & .480 lift), Clevite bearings, CRANE Cams aluminum roller rockers, Lunati springs & retainers, Ford Motorsport windage tray, Weiand Stealth intake, Road Demon 625cfm carb, and Summit Racing long tube headers.
