Not Ranked
DD,
Depends on what you want out of your motor but my little 289 sounds pretty sweet & feels pretty swift on it's feet(though I haven't "really" put it on the street yet). I used the Comp Cams "Nostalgia Plus" Hydraulic Cam & an offy 360 manifold with a 600DP carb. Other than that it's pretty much stock other than the girdle on the bottom, roller tip rockers & arp bolts throughout. Had my budget been a little larger I likely would have gone forged pistons & aluminum heads. The nostalgia plus cam has a mean little lope but not so much that it sounds out of control & the lift is such that you really don't have to worry too much about clearance problems. But like I said before it really depends on what you are after.
