Interesting. I'm beginning to research building a 289 stroker (to what, 331 ci?) so I figure the block will probably be the only thing that remains from a "vintage" motor. Meaning the crank, rods, pistons, cam, et cetera will all change.

I want to use a vintage block for CA emissions---I need to research further, but I think the engine is evaluated by the date casting on the block itself.

I'm also thinking of doing the work myself, though I have never rebuilt an engine. I'd do the assembly, but farm out the machine work locally.

Anyone know of a good manual on how to build a 289 stroker?
