A 289 is a great motor. The predecessor of the 302 even if it's bored out it's not sucking terrible gas, plus it still has the power to move. It's a sweet little motor that'll keep you from breaking your neck in a wreck. If you wanna' die get a 351W and go to town. My old Torino 351W ripped by corvettes and a jaguar V-12. The deck height from the 260/289/302 is different from the 351W though so if you choose a Windsor don't expect your 302 parts to fit on top (except the carb. and valve covers).
