Thanks for the info Hans.
I was originally intending to build a stout 289, and I may still do it if I can find a few needed parts, but so far I have,
Edelbrock Performer RPM AIR-GAP intake.
Edelbrock alum water pump.
AFR 165-COMP heads (these look fantastic)
Mallory Unilight dist.
Holley 570 Street Avenger carb
Aviad road race oil pan.
Hearders from Sunbeam Specialties (Jet Hot coated)
Modified oil filter system.
Slightly modified cooling system
The car currently has a Sheiffer aluminum flywheel, SFI approved scatter shield, and McLeon HD clutch components.
All this is part of the 5 bolt engine set up and other than the clutch components I can reuse all of it on the new motor.
I think I can make about 380-425 HP with these parts on a 331 short block. That should be sufficient to get my heart pumping.
I do worry about chassis damage, and cooling issues with the 331 motor as it just makes so MUCH more power than the original 260 V8.
Have a great weekend Hans.
