1. Screw in rocker arm studs

2. Do not have guide plates (Did the standard 289 have these?)

3. Cup that the bottom of the valve spring sets in

4. Threaded plugs in the oil galleries

5. Heavy Duty main caps

6. Connecting rods with 3/8 bolts

7. Harmonic Balancer

8. Crankshaft front Bob-Weight

9. Exhaust Manifolds

10. Dual-point centrifugal distributor

Anything missing?

Thanks,

I’m thinking about putting a set of Weber carbs on my HiPo. When we started racing, in the mini-stock division at Old Dominion Speedway iin VA, I used a Weber setup that really improved performance. I know they take time to tune correctly but still think a set would wake up the HiPo pretty good. Does anyone have experience with Weber’s on a HiPo? Anyone have a Weber setup they might want to part with?

Thanks,

Thanks for the input...

We have our HiPo engine at the shop for rebuild. They have asked me to bring over the clutch I want to use for part of the overall fit and balancing process.

My flywheel is original and doesn’t look like it is very thick to me. The area where the clutch disk would mate up to is only about 1/8 of an inch thicker than the starter gear ring. Does this sound OK? Does anyone know what the thickness of the flywheel should be?

Also what type of clutch do you guy’s recommend for a car that will get driven but not raced.

I'm considering using comp cams modern version of the old 271 cam. What do you guys think is a good cam for moderate street use below 6500RPM.

Thanks,
