Just bought a 289 for rebuiding. It's a 1965 date coded block, so I'm good for CA emissions when I go to register.
I'm trying to id the pistons to determine if they need replacing. They are dished with a protruding wedge, and have the marking "L2249N". Can anyone id these pistons? I know they are obsolete TRW, but I'm trying to determine what compression ratio they will yield with stock or aftermarket heads (GT-40 heads).
Also, the
oil pump has a tag on it that reads "68HV". Is this a high-volume
oil pump?
The fun begins!
