Chris, that is my car and explained by Ken it is a 289, but a 1964 Mercury with 1965 C5AE-B steel heads. By having the Mercury motor we can use the Autolite 112 carburetor instead of 108 on mustang. The 68 302 is a combo that I am looking at my self with Holley carburetor.
Mr Bob at NHRA gave all Aluminum heads 10 HP. Well if you are in GT/A class that would be 8X10=80lb but I am in GT/KA which is 13 or 13X10= 130 lbs. It should have been something like you have to add 80 or 100lb for the heads no matter what class? Just my .02
