I finally dropped a 389 back in the Goat.
About 8 years ago I pulled a 428 out for several reasons including an annoying oil leak, too high a compression ratio, and a poor cooling system. At the time I needed to get the car to my paint guy and only had one choice, a 350 Chevy. I left the engine in after the car came back but only until I could find a correct 389. Two years ago my buddy sends an email with a link to an Ebay auction and the rest is history. It feels good to have the old goat back to being all poncho, all but the 12 bolt rear. The best part is the stance is perfect now with the stock springs and engine.
