Geof, fun talking to you about the V6
a while back!
I didn't see the coverage of the 289 back
in the day, but enjoying it now!
VERY interesting you ended up with
different exhaust on different sides
of the engine!
It sounds like maybe a little bit of
a happy accident??
I have built a lot of small block Fords,
street and Vintage race.
In the Vintage Race world, we are limited
in the valve train world, no roller cams
or roller rockers, in the strictest groups.
My primary goal is reliability, But we
have to have Fun TOO.
The recipe for a stout 289 Ford is not real
hard to find, with No limitations,
More so with limited parts, as you well know.
Making them live, more
of a challenge, but doable.
BTW, if you get Bored with the old
Detroit Iron, I can help you with
the hardware to play with making Power
... or attempting to, with an Alpine engine.
