Hi folks, I am needing a rebuild on a 289cui ford motor, nothing too silly, needing some headwork and new rings as she's blowing a fair bit of oil through. I was intially thnking of doing it myslef, but lack ot talent and time precludes it

Falconers have been recommended to me by a seasoned classic car restorer. I'm about to drop a cylinder head off with him for some work. He refuses to do any porting / polishing though so I've done that myself. He'll be doing hardened valve seat inserts, seat recuts and a sealing face skim. I'll fit the new guides and lap the valves in myself afterwards.

I'll say a mild tune

I got 3 v8's
5.4 in my daily driver f150

I got 2 302 5.0 in my cortinas and they run great one is mild tuned and very powerful and
Other has gt40 heads and holly great strong engines

That is some collection, I only have 2 V8s but i guess there is always room for another!

I was thinking some alloy heads and roller rockers, it has already got the edelbrock cam,intake and carb so should be plenty.

I had a 351w built for my old 69 and it was slightly over engined for the brakes and suspension, which was fun but scary!
