I need a 289/302 short block and heads in decent shape to rebuild for my '65 race car. I am pulling my 5.0L/331 stroker and going back to a vintage legal set up.
I am willing to pay a reasonable amount, or trade a race prepped 351W non roller block (.030 over, new cam bearings, new brass freeze plugs and ARP main studs), with a forged steel crank (.010/.010), plus 6 Eagle SRP rods (two others got a little bent up). The block has been mag'd, machined with a torque plate and is ready to assemble.
My 331 short block will go up here after I get the new motor built.

I've got what you need. 1965 block has been cleaned. I'm running the heads on my 63 ranchero. The heads have been fully ported with chevrolet 1.94 and 1.60 valves. I have a set windsor heads that have also been ported that will replace those (gets me into regular gasoline) The early heads give me 10.2:1 compression with the stock 302. Ask me and I'll send pictures
