Very nicely build 289 V8 in SoCal - under 3,000 on total rebuild

Post by tdskip »

This is a very nicely built first gen Mustang engine that I have heard run. I bought it from a friend of a friend who had it built for over $7,000 and then after ~3,000 miles decided to build a 427 monster of an engine for his car. This is a good street build engine for daily use, slightly loopy cam but will hold vacuum at idle and had good down low power.

To give you an idea of how great of a value this engine is here is a parts list from Summit racing for the actual parts used or equivalent parts (for example, I used a Scott Drake damper for value purposes but I'll need to confirm the actual brand of the damper that is on the engine). I have also been conservative on values - for example the exhaust manifolds on the engine have been heat coated but I've priced bare metal ones below.
