289 buildup need HELP!!
I own a 1965 Mercury Comet w/ a 289 and c-4. I am a diesel mechanic by tarde and don't have much experience with gas engine performance. I am getting ready to make it into a street rod. I want to pull as much H.P. (500-600+) out of the engine as humanly possible with the use of only 2 carbs and nothing sticking out of the hood. I do know my way around engines just not used to the gas side, so I plan on doing the work myself I just don’t know what parts to go after, heads, and other modifications to make to the engine. Does anyone have ideas? Any and all would be greatly appreicated.
Good to have her home finally, still need to go back and give her another polish after messing with the engine stuff. Made it up to Idaho. Also a local show.
New guy from Utah.
