    question about timing on my 289

    I figured i would post this here since the 5.0 guys mainly focus on 302's. I bought my 83 GT from an old friend. It's powered by a 1966 289 block with 302 heads. All the internals are new. Forged rods and pistons etc... When my friend put the motor together he must have done something wrong...

    i know it's a tired subject.. carb choices?

    So i rebuilt my holley 600cfm and i'm still not very happy with it. It just doesn't feel very smooth through the rpm range and especially lacking at higher rpm.

    newb with a new toy (advise?)

    Hey hey, My first post here, very nice forums. I recently picked up a 1983 GT. The car has mostly been raped. It's in decent shape mechanically but the interior is trashed. The 302 was yanked and replaced with a custom built 66 model 289. Pretty much nothing remains of the computer...
