Simple, I blew up my 289 and had a lot of pieces/parts left over to shave some of the cost off a new motor.

I actually wanted to have a 289 built, but on the builders reccomendation, went to the 302/347 build. His quote; "There's no substitute for cubic inches".

Also, the othe big driver in the decision was that I had the tri-power induction which I wanted to reuse.

All told, probably saved a pretty good buck on the build-up.
