Thumbs up Newly aquired 67 Mustang

Well I got a 67 Mustang for Christmas this year. WOOHOO!! My father-in-law gave me his 67 stang. It was his first car. I NEVER thought he would have done this. It's my new resto project.

Anyways, it's got a 289 V8 2V in it. It's been rebuilt but that was about 4 years-ish ago and it hasn't been run since because he said he thinks the C4 needs a new flexplate. So since it's been so long since the motor has run what do I need to do to the internals? My wife's uncle said to fill the whole motor with oil and let it sit a considerable amount of time. I guess to help "loosen" up anything that may be froze in position. What would ya'll suggest I do?

At time of rebuild: block gone thru and then the cylinders sleeved to keep the 289 ci. Crank turned, new bearings, etc. It's supposed to be still 289. It's got 302 heads on it with new valves so it can run unleaded fuel. 2 barrell carb that I'm assuming is stock. It does have a new "high performance" cam in it but he hasn't got me the information on it yet.

Suggestions??

What kind of power can be made with a 289? I'm used to 302s and up as well as fuel injection. I don't know jack about carbs.
