Re: making the galaxie fly
The quickest / fastest 289 in all the land (SS) is Kip Martin and he builds out of his own machine shop in Phoenix, AZ.

Actually Ray Scardelli's Probe is the baddest 289, its been some 9.70's i belive, I know its been a .89. He uses B&B Performance in the N.J. area. the 352 with alum heads is GREAT combo, I would do that vs the SBF in your case Stephen Johnson #2162 Horace Johnson #2167 SS/D 427 Ford Fairlane NHRA-IHRA |

Re: making the galaxie fly
Back in the day Kip Martin and Jerry Pruitt had the "Whale Cars" flying -- Jerry's 64 Custom 300 stick car was faster than Kip's -- BTW NHRA liked this combination so much that they slapped 10 hp on it and both cars disappeared--My understanding is that the HP factor has been eliminated and the 352 4V is once again rated at 250 hp--a great combination --

Re: making the galaxie fly
Kip's is a '64 1/2 Mustang notch with the 289 / 225 / 210 HP. He holds the SS/L record:
SS/L 10.13 129.51 03/08/08 Kip Martin - Phoenix, AZ '64 Ford Tucson, AZ Look for quicker ET's in 2009 from Kip... I looked at the 352 with another racer and it looked REALLY good. And I would agree with the others, for your boat the 352 would do very well. Never thought about it as a SS/GT...wow!
