Default Most Streetable HP from a 289?
I am trying to compare BB to SB, within California where SB100 type rules are coming to neighborhood near you.

I am exploring options, and wanted to hear from the Vintage Small Block crowd regarding the potential build up possibilities of a 1965 blocked 289.

I would like to achieve 425 or so HP...what would it take to do this with a 289 block?

Will the engine still be streetable? Will pump gas still work in it?

Thanks for the feedback in advance.
