I currently have a very high strung 289. It makes gobs of power in the upper RPM range, but is a total pig below about 3k. I've got a friend who has four running FE 390's. He's willing to part with any of them if I want one for the Cobra.

So I'd be out the cost of new headers, distributor, bellhousing, motor mounts, front springs, etc., but would at least have a big block.

So do y'all think it would be worth my time, or should I just be happy that I have a hice healthy SB?

I know, I know, it's always a personal decision, but I guess what I'm really looking for is someone who has driven both. Does a big block REALLY change the handling so much? will my 4.57 rear gears have to go?

Any other things I should consider?

Thanks, Tom
