Hey everyone - been a while since my last post, and sorry - still no pics of the project car up yet. Will post them as soon as I get the film developed (no digital camera - have to scan images).
Anyway - I got the engine out a few weeks ago (standard 289) and did the tear-down this weekend. I just started looking around for rebuild parts/kits. My target is to rebuild the engine to make about 300-325 hp, and I'm trying to get info on rebuilding the internals and lower end to support that (which doesn't seem too aggressive to me). My question is - are there "performance" rebuild kits out there that would support a mild performace rebuild such as what I'm after, or should I just forget about it and assemble all the parts individually. Thanks for help/advice!
