289 build questions
I have a few questions concerning my 289 project. I purchase a 64' 289 short block about a year & a half ago & until now it has been sitting wrapped in plastic in my garage. It was rebuilt at 40 over on the cylinder, 10 under on the crank & has 9 to 1 cast pistons. I plan to put the car together for street use primarily but with decent performance characteristics. I am looking to go all out with this engine I just want it to be street fast & sound good. I am looking at this ford racing cam...
Advertised duration: 280 intake/290 exhaust
Duration at .050 in. cam lift: 204 intake/214 exhaust
Gross valve lift: .448 in. intake/.472 in. exhaust
Lobe separation: 107 degrees intake/117 degrees exhaust
Peak horsepower rpm: 4,750
Peak torque rpm: 3,500
RPM range: 2,500-5,500
I would also like to use the cast iron Ford racing heads with 60cc combustion chambers, 1.84 in. intake/1.46 in. exhaust valves
I also would like advise on to or not to use arp bolts on the mains. I will be using them on the rods & will likely go with arp studs for the heads. The bottom end is already assembled with what are probably stock fasteners
Any other suggestions would also be helpful
