Welcome to CHR! Too bad about the PO trashing the 352 you'd built. Jeff's given you some ideas on building up your 289, and I agree that a "thumper" cam is not the right way to go - they're ground for sound as opposed to performance. Mike's given you some ideas on watching for a different engine, which I like. Making the '65 period correct with a big ol' 428/429/460 would be very cool, and a drop in. You might check out Barry over at Survival Motorsports - http://www.survivalmotorsports.com/index.html if you really want to get into the FE big time.
Once you get a few posts we'd love to see some pictures.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Swap to a 351W. That 289 is OK in a midsize, but they were gutless in a full-size. A '79 or so LTD or Marquis engine fits right in.
