I made the post about Moneymaker to show how extreme a 289 can be built. Like I said it is not your every day Mustang. The only point I was attempting to make is that the 289 is a great motor and depending on how you build it you can compete with any brand Ch### products. However, due to it's relatively small displacement you will need to spin to high RPM to get the power!
For everyday driving there are a lot of nice packages that give a balanced motor and these should be complimented with a reasonable rear end gearing.
