ford mustang 289 engine modifications

You can change the intake to a quality dual plane manifold, add headers, increase you cam's lift and duration, add quality aluminum cylinder heads, increase your compression (beef up the bottom end). You most cost effective way to build a 289 is to not.18 Feb 2003

If you rev an engine high enough it will make the HP (assuming it's designed to do so), but it's far from a good street engine. IMHO, 300-350hp is pretty much the upper limit for a streetable 289.20 Nov 2007

To make a 289 run strong you apply the same formula as any sbf, a good combo of heads/cam/intake/exhaust and you are good to go. The 289 uses the same heads, intakes, etc. as any 302/5.0. You can even convert to a roller cam, late model firing order and efi if you want to.5 Jan 2011

The 289 High Performance V-8 is a warmed-up 289 with a hotter solid-lifter camshaft, cylinder heads designed for high rpm, a dual-point ignition engineered for higher revs, cast-iron exhaust headers, and a wider harmonic balancer to deal with increased reciprocating mass down under.12 Dec 2017

The 302 differed little from the 289, with the exception of the stroke, which measured 3.0 inches. ... Aside from the stroke measurements, the 302 also differed from the 289 with a higher nickel content in the engine block to create a stronger engine. The two-barrel version debuting in 1968 generated 210 horsepower.

The 289 cu in (4.7 L) was also introduced in April 1963. Bore was expanded to 4.00 in (101.6 mm), becoming the standard bore for most small block engines. Stroke remained at 2.87 inches.

Registered. The 351 heads will fit on your 289 and the Edelbrock will fit too.. Then the question become are they worth putting on? The 69/70 are the heads you want otherwise forget it.6 Sep 2010

Basically the same block. The 289 has a 4" bore with a 2.87" stroke while the 302 has a 4" bore with a 3" stroke. Yes the 302 parts will fit just fine in the 289. Be sure to use 302 rods as they are shorter then the 289's.2 May 2005

Two dots, not one, cast into the head, valve spring cups cast into the heads, and treaded, not pressed in, rocker arm studs. Those are the easy ways of telling at a glance.12 Aug 2011

Pretty much all 289 heads, except for the C3 HiPo heads, have 54.5cc chambers. GT40P's run from 59-61cc. Expect to drop a half point in compression ratio, but you'll make up some flow due to the larger valves and improved exhaust runner.17 Jul 2012
