Coolness! The only bad thing about that little 289 is they are thin walled and shouldn't be bored most say over .030. I rebuilt one and the machine shop punched it .040 and I had trouble keeping it cool after that. Mine was out of a 65 Mercury and was an A code 4bl motor with the smaller chambered heads.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Oil pump, water pump, check the bushings in the distributor, check headers for cracks, take the starter and alternator to a parts store that checks them for free (and if they say they are bad, try another parts store for a second opinion).
Front seal on the transmission (rear tranny seals are easy, but not the front)
Oh yeah.... Do what is easy now, with the engine out. It would be a beach later on.

The 289 was crap.
The block is good it has no cracks. it however has to be bored over a least .30
The crank is bad the 2nd and 4th mains are bad
Rods have to be resized.
Well since the crank and rods need repair, i will get a 302 crank and rods.
For now I will wait to see if some thing comes along.

It was a question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you get the engine out last weekend? Got my backyard cleaned up. Then went to a friends house in Crane. They're phones been disconnected and tried to check on them. Naturally. Nobody home.

One thing is for sure - once you have built your first engine, and seen how well you can get it to run, you will never look at a used or a new vehicle quite the same.
It's one of the most rewarding experiences, and with the highest return that you can give yourself.

well now that i have put the 289 off I'm thinking about building the 2.0 4-cyl that is in the car.
the man factor is gas prices are going to go back up to over 4 a gal i hear.
i already have most of the performance parts like new crab and intake header all i need to do is refresh the in sides, bump the CR up to 9.5-1, mild cam and it should make about 150 hp and i don't have to do any mods to the car.
