DJs350H---
Thanks for that information, it has by far been the best reply i have gotten. From the other message boards i have already desided to stick with the 289. You were the first guy though that actually explained how i could get that major power out of my 289. The article in Hot Rod magazine was also very inspirering, they got 352HP dont remember torque, out of a 289 bored over to i believe 292ci with 2barrel and 87 octane gas.
So far this Im planning to give it a basic tune up, which i know it needs, but first choice in parts would be aluminum heads, looking torwards edelbrock but wanted to look into world as well. With the heads at the same time i wanted to get Crane 1.6 roller rockers but not desided yet on the pushrods, cam, or lifter set up.
I had a question about the rocker and lifter setup though. Would roller rockers such as the gold anodized crane ones be a straight bolt on part or do they need any other components. Also is it worth getting roller rockers if i dont get hydrolic roller lifters as well?
Any suggestions on Cam and lifter setups would be great! Im planning on getting the heads, pushrods, rockers, cam, and lifters and the same time, so a complete setup for maximum performance would be appriciated. The only parts im pretty serious about getting are Edelbrock heads and crane roller rockers.
Thanks guys
