Thread: 289 buildup need HELP!!

Tweet

I just finished building a 600 HP 351 Cleveland/Boss.
These are only good to about 7500 RPM's because the cleveland blocks like to carck after that. But a 289 or 302 can really wind up with out cracking the block. I say over 9000 RPM's if you use good rods and balance it.

I have a 65 comet cyclone and I got a lot out of my 289 i was in the 11 with mine 289 all racing inside, got 5 miles to the gallon, wow

go single carb, 331 stroker kit all forged internals, AFR 165-185 heads, decent sized roller cam designed for a blower, and stick a 9 PSI paxton blower, and make sure to use an intake manifold that matches your cam..... you'll be looking to hit maybe the 500hp range.... its not gonna be cheap either
