1965 289 rotating parts and heads, the block was pitted so i truck!! I used it to drive 100 miles a day city highway combined, blew a transmission once, but I knew it was iffy when i got the free truck. After porting the intake manifold a rocker arm came loose and I gave up on trying to hotrod the, by then 177k, stock engine. I learned building it with my dad, a free 65 289 small block: 6 bolt bell, 2BBL, manual 11" clutch, closed chamber, non emission, dish piston, with deep pits on the cylinder walls from rust. the rotating assembly and heads dressed a 85 5.0 roller block, E303 bumpstick(.498), 72 4BBL intake, holley 600, and a custom set of headers. The 11" clutch mentioned earlier puts the power to a 95 mustang v6 T-5 transmission. the driveshaft is stock.used the internals on a 85 5.0, and used a roller E303 cam(.498" lift). Roller tip rocker arms and hard tip 302 valves on the 65 closed chamber heads. 72 cast iron 4 barrel intake with a Holley 600 4 barrel. Dual exhaust and long tube headers, my entire exhaust system was FREE 99!! She is a badass bitch!!

Front: stock, soon to have new stiffer springs.

Rear: 9 inch ford rearend, 4 link, 3.25 gears, and minitubs. Plans for disc brakes a,d either: 3.00 ,3.25 ,or 3.50
