Stroking a 289 SBF

[NVR2FST]

Does anyone know if a 60's 289 block can use a roller motors 347 stroker kit?

Thanks

i know it'll be a lot harder than stroking a 302. reason being the cylinder walls extend farther down into the crankcase in a 289. that's why they're very rarely used in stroker apps. you're much better off finding an early 302 block, since they've thicker than latemodel blocks, and stroking that. tougher, less grinding, less headaches, less work.

Thanks for the info.! I guess I'll just use a the extra 302 roller block I have instead.

I have an older 302 block. Let me know if you are interested.
