You'd be surprised at what you could get out of a 289. Maybe invite [MENTION=99584]ibd2328[/MENTION] over to boost it! LOL

There's a more plentiful parts for a small block from what all I've seen.

I put a Mustang II front end under a 66 I rebuilt and cut out the shock towers and fit a 351C in between and it turned out perfect!
Sadly that was sold off when I got married to get funds for a new house.

yeah that wouldn't be bad to do. there is always the option of the newer boss 302 pushrod block stroked to a 365?

no lol I think in 2010 ford introduced an upgrade for the old pushrod guys and made a 302 with thicker walls beefy mains 4 bolt and it was able to be stroked all the way out to a 365. Modular coyote would be pricey to do in that car...but would be sweet
