Vintage Rides

280hp @ 5000rpm and 315ft lbs of torque @ 4000rpm. This engine has a semi-rough idle with enough cam to give it that muscle car sound but is still mild enough to be reliable for that everyday driver or restoration project. This engine can be used with a mild or stock stall speed convertor if being used with an automatic transmission. This engine runs on leaded or unleaded premium pump fuel.

The balanced rotating assembly (typically includes crankshaft, pistons, rings, connecting rods, rod bearings, and balancer) featured in this engine:
3.000" stroke nodular iron crank
5.090" forged rods with ARP rod bolts
9 to 1 compression pistons

The price of this locally balanced, machined and performance rebuilt equaled the cost of my plans for the 289 but with more power and less elbow grease.

Bent valve, cut valve seat, oil and rust, broken piece missing from distributer neck on the block. = Crate engine time. Save 289 for later rebuild.

Engine runs but poorly. Looks like it has never been clean before.

Baked on tar, dirt, oil, battery acid, power steering fluid and then you get to the paint
