You do know the intake from the 289 won't fit do you?
Also, that engine has the reverse flow cooling system. Should not be an issue but, you might want to get familiar with that engine's minor details.
That is a great replacement for the 289 if you ask me.
It was between this or a TBI 350, so yea its a good fine.
The problem is, I have not been able to use my truck since Oct of last year and I need it for the house projects im trying to finish so I can tear it down and do it right. I have neither the time nor the extra money to get the wire harness for this conversion to work correctly. Im into my truck now almost 600.00 on parts, extras, shop time all because of 4 lose bolts. It was almost sold.
