Since that 389 isnt running well, has a 2 barrel and looks pretty scraggly, I think I would look for a good running pull out 400,428 or 455. They are around if you keep a close eye on craigs list. I picked up a rebuilt 455 from carb to pan and fan to flexplate for $800 In St Louis a couple of years ago. Then clean it up, stick some new gaskets in it, paint it, stick it in and sell the 389. It could probably be done pretty cheap if you got a couple hundred out of your running 389. Just take some video of the 389 running with a temp and oil pressure gauge readings before you pull it. Just a thought.

Nice GTO BTW
