After some wonderful help from people on this and the old forum, I have realized that I will need to rebuild my 67 289.
And thanks to some good karma or the alignment of the planets the old farmer across the street had a 2v 289 out of a 67 Mustang in his barn that he gave me to free up room which means no down time of my car while I can rebuild.
Here is where my questions come in. I am fairly handy, but this is something that I want to make sure is done right and with a reasonable budget. This is going to be my daily driver car and I would like it to have some get up and go and still not drink gas like it is going out of style.
Any help, suggestions, warnings, cost estimates, tips and steps to take first would be greatly appreciated. I know I will be posting here with questions throughout the process so I would like to thank everyone in advance.
I am not looking for parts suggestions as much as overall procedures. <What can I do myself, what does a machine shop need to do, should I just take it into a shop and have them do it, etc>
Other then having my eye on a Edelbrock carb and intake, I am wide open as far as parts are concerned.
