My 289 engine in my 67 Fastback is running out of time. It's at 40 over, crank is 20/20 and it's making knocks. So, I was thinking of using an 85 5.0 roller block that I have to stroke my engine to 347". I believe that my water pump and timing cover will work from the 289-so I don't need a new radiator for the reverse rotating water pump on the 5,0. Heads, intake manifold and carb should work. A 5.0 distributor would be needed-I have one. My headers should bolt up. I have to get a clutch adapter for the toploader I believe-cheaper than a hydraulic conversion? Flywheel and harmonic balancer need to change??-or does that get determined by the stroker components? Someone has had to do this before me I bet, so correct me if I'm wrong, or please feel free to criticize or make suggestions. I appreciate it. thanks
