Hey guys,

I have a 289 and a 302 that i am considering rebuilding for my 66 coupe. Which would offer more HP, well, obviously the 302 has more cubes, but is there a torque advantage with the 289 stroke?

That is my only consern, if there is no real advantage in torque or horsepower over each engine other than the cubes with the 302, i will probably build the 302 with the 289 block.

Thanks guys
