302 what heads 351w 289?
I am going to put some heads on my 77 mustang II. I have done all the research on 351w heads and know good casting numbers D0oE-C or g and know the specs on them.
I know that they would probably give me some hp's but I also have read they are very hard to find. I do not know much about the 289 heads. I herd they are easier to find and have good compression. Thats about all I know
I am looking to do a budget build so I will be looking for used heads from a wrecker or at a swap meet.
Found a local wrecker that has a whole pile of them already off the cars/trucks haven't been there since I have got the casting numbers. He says he is selling them all for $60 a head.
So the question I want to know is. What would be the biggest bang for my buck 351 or 289 heads. And will my hedders and intake bolt up with them.?
The upgrades I have in my car are.
Cam, Im not too sure the specs' on it. I was told by a ford guy that it was the biggest I could go with out haveing problems running.
670 street avenger, 289 preformer intake. Long tube hedders. And some other small stuff that doesnt really matter.
on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
