I plan to rebuild my stock 2v 289 at some point in time (=next year).
At the same time I intend to squeeze some more horses. I am missing some parts in the build plan, hence I would need some expert advise.
The bottom will be quite stock with some improved rod bolts and hypereuthetic pistons. I have a edelbrock 500 and a weiand stealth already in my "storage".
The exhaust side will have 351W manifolds with 2.5" ehxaust pipes, H-pipe and flowmasters. These parts I also already have.
What I still am struggling with, are the heads, the cam and the ignition parts.
I am as much as possible looking for used parts, to keep a low budget. However, when it comes to heads, I believe the only wise thing is to go for new ones.
The cam should allow for a smooth idle, because the car will be a daily driver.
What would you engine builders recommend to close the gaps that I have??
Do you think my plan is ok?
