I have a 65 Comet with the 289 and had a 75 Mavrick with the 302. Take the smog junk off the 302 and tune it right and it would have been just as good as the 289 if not better. And if you are running it in a car that doesn't have to pass emissions, I would go with the 302 as they can make great power and are still light and fast.
