I bought '67 fastback with 289 2v, all original except has headers installed. Engine ran fine. We have pulled the engine out to do a complete refurb of the engine compartment. While we have the engine out I have been thinking ....
What could I do to increase the performance of this engine? I originally planned on putting a new Edelbrock header and 4v in and letting it go at that. But I do like performance engines ( my daily driver is a 295 hp Mark VIII).
What else would you suggest while I have it out?? I'm willing to spend up to around $1500 or so. Is this worthwhile??
I'm not mechanically inclined enough to do the work myself. I do have a Ford mech who will work for me after hours ($15 hour). I could also just take the engine to a performance shop??
Suggestions??
