Hey guys I just got my 289 rebuilt around 2 months ago, its been bored .030 with 10:1 flat tops pistons, stock 289 mustang heads,crank,rods, 1.6 roller rockers, weiand intake, hooker headers and my cam is a CompCam 289-302 Marine 268H Cam. My 289 runs real good, but I was expecting to hear more cam. I love the X303 camshaft and wandering is their any cam that could go in my 289 to sound similiar to the X303? I was also wandering what else would I have to do to my motor to be able to handle that kind of camshaft? (Change out the valves, heads etc..)I know the X303 cam runs in the 302 but with usually the GT 40P heads. I would appreciate any help yall could give me.
