sorry for the late reply...classes started. yeah, ur right about the model of the engine. that motor thats in that car is actually the 289 from a fastback, but its been bored out to a 302. i was thinkin cleveland cuz i was thinkin of my dads weekend car, which has the 351C from the Mach 1 mustang. his weekend car is a '31 ford sedan. sorry to sound like an @$$ with the mis-information, i wasn't thinkin str8 at the time. and yes, the bored out 302 really does put out 500 hp...dual holley carbs, ceramic racing headers and no muffler.
not really busted...think i clarified the issue. i kinda have the feeling that someone is gonna try to flame me and asks for pics to prove it. well screw it, i could care less. i'll make sure i take some pics though..next time i go up to jersey. if i can dig up some old ones and scan them, i'll do that too
dont mean to post whore...just figure i'd answer a question before it got asked.
so how do you get nearly 500 hp out of an NA tuned (originally) 289 engine??? easy, after it was bored out to a 302, the old pistons were replaced with high compression pistons. I'm not sure what the ratio is, i think its around 11:1, but i'll have to double check. this work was done on the car before my dad decided to pass it on down the line

You have a nazi dog.
Hey Chris, I'm selling the Mercedes! Evidently the reason the car wouldn't start a few days ago was because the heater hose had hardened and cracked due to the extremely cold weather we've got. Additionally, the mechanic who serviced the car last put in the wrong engine oil, which thickened with cold weather, disallowing stuff to happen.
Piece of crap Nazi car.
I'll pimp out these pics at any opportunity! More pics & info in my sig...
