Rich, most of the SB motors they build are commonly 302 based (slight over bore to 306, or the 331 and 347 strokers). The 302 is basically a 289 'stroked' to 302. If you want a vintage 289 block either of those 3 companies can most likely get one for you and then build it any way you want. Quite a few guys have put vintage 289 blocks, built as 331 strokers, into FIA cobras. I know Keith Craft has done this for a couple of ERA owners.
Lot of power, light weight, supposedly really nice sound. That is what I'm looking at for my new ERA FIA - a 331 stroker built by???????
