I recently bought a New engine for my falcon it is a 1967 A code 289 .030 over, flat top pistons, aluminum edelbrock performer heads, and soon MSD ultra 6AL pro ignition system.the original 289 has bad heads on it so it will get freshened up at a later date! Now that parts are starting to arrive I will start posting more! Once the new 289 is stripped and painted we will bring the falcon over to my buddies shop and change the original sloppy steering box for a new 16:1 Scott drake unit, repaint the engine bay install the under engine brace and clean up a previous owners rough welding work!

What is wrong with the heads? I have some early 289 heads available.
