Not sure if this has been discussed. But it seems there are no more hipo fans to buy. Anywhere

What gives?

I would assume everyone knows this, but if you want a little bit more power, just build a later model 5.0 motor. They look almost identical and you can beat up that motor knowing your original 289 is sitting safely in your garage.

In my car I have a mid 90's 5.0 roller block. This made the process easy because this block is machined already for that spider thing. Going this route obviously has extra cost. Other than a couple difference's to the block, no one really knows its a 90's block vs a 60's.

Hope this helps
