My friend and I are rebuilding his C code 289 and we need some guidance.
He wants to add some HP but not crazy HP and he's thinking an edelbrock intake and 500cfm carb, but unclear what cam would be ideal. The 289 has 90K on it and it's getting pretty tired. He's buying a master rebuild kit and most likely the cylinders will be .030 and were hoping the crank will be in good shape.
Helpful suggestions and recommendations...

Thank you

The engine is going back in his 66 convertible that is stock, so I'm thinking in the 230-260 HP range for a noticeable improvement over what he has now. I'll ask him about his budget, but I'm thinking in the $1200-1700 range for machine work and rebuild kit. He just sent me an e-mail and he already picked up an edelbrock performer intake.
It's a weekend car that he wants a bit more get up and go and he uses it in parades as well, so it must be capable of crawling with a good idle.
I hope this helps clarify things.
