i just bought a 67' mustang. i have no idea what i am doing but i am
slowly learning how to work on it. when i took on trying to design the
engine (289) i ran into the problem of finding parts that are all
compatible with each other. i am building the engine as a street/strip
car so i am looking to put all the bolt on performance parts on there.
is there a cheaters list online somewhere i can look at online or in a
book maybe? i am concentrating on exhaust and heads at the moment but
any information that i might get is welcome.

I've seen a couple of books listed on vendor sites about doing what
you want to do. The 289, with some minor changes, is the engine Shelby
used for racing which blew away the competition. And there's much more
you can do to it. Like a Paxton supercharger Novi 1200 maybe.  Change
the points to elctronic, hotter coil, better plug wires. :0) 347 kit?

In addition to books mentioned, some of the articles in Mustang
Monthly, Mustang and Fords, etc, list what was done to the cars
depicted.  Also, there have been articles which dealt specifically
with building up the 289. You might try their tech pages or back
issues.

hey thank you for the info. as far the ignition i have started that i
have the rest of my MSD ignition setup coming in a couple days. i got
some books but most of the technical lingo i read from them is still a
foreign language to me. i am sure i will catch on though.

what is this 347 kit you speak of?

347 stroker kit. I'd use a 302 block for that - it has more beef than the
289 block.
