TAZ - twin 700 holley double pumpers??? Not on a 289 you didn't. Unless you managed to bore it out to 390 or 427.

You wouldn't even be able to START a 289 with two holley 700s...

I trust you on Hummer completely, but that comment about the Mustang doesn't make sense....

I guess the 60s (and 70s) must have been good to you

By the way, I'm running an 289 with a Edlebrock 750 4 barrell, through aluminum heads, Ported and Polished Block, bored .030 over, Edlebrock headers, Edlebrock cam, and electronic ignition on my '68 Mustang Convertible. I am also running a 4.11 (Strange Gears) positraction rear end. Due to the fact that it's tuned to be streetable.
it puts out somewhere in the 350 hp range. Which of course with a light unibody means it goes like hell, but isn't going to kill you!
