My friend's 289 blew up last night. Shattered a piston and put the connecting rod through the Cylinder wall. Water everywhere. Block is trashed, the connecting rod is trash. The Head took a good hit and at very least has a bent valve stem.

We want to get him back up and running asap. Wondering if anybody out there has a 289 or 302 out there that needs a rebuild, or even just a block, crank, and head. Looking for something in Ohio, nearer columbus the better.

Looking for something that needs some work, since he dumped most all of his available cash in this last motor just before it blew. He always helps us with garage space and lending tools. Would like to find him something soon.

If you have anything, please let me know. I appreciate it. Thanks.
