I got my 389 [now a 395.5] home last week. Last Saturday, I took the e-bay dual quad setup over to my son's house and used his bead blaster to clean off the paint and skunge....thought I might take a photo of it and show you.
I'd painted it a tan color to go with the future paint scheme on my old 56 Safari. I'd planned to paint it a tutone candy, pearl green and tan or champangne. Now, I have a tan engine and a black car...I think it might work ok.
It's a '60, 389 + 0.030" with 10.25 flat top pistons. Has steel rods with the old poncho armasteel [nodular iron] crank and I'm using a ram-air 3 cam....308/320 degrees advertised........and rhoades lifters. So far the 60 heads are stock with a little cleanup and pocket porting. I'd like to score a pair of Edelbrock heads later.....
The AFB's are a pair of original 60 Pontiac units.
