Hello all, My first post here so be gentle with me. I have a 2 owner 62 GT hawk with 31k miles on her and am in the process of a freshen up. She's a 289, T10, TT with new eidlebrock carb. The engine runs great except that oil pressure disappears after about 30 minutes of driving, I suspect the piston in the pressure relief valve is sticking.
The engine is next on the list for rebuild and I would like to know where I can source some parts.
Does anyone know if anyone produces flat top pistons to suit the 289, Avanti slipper type would be great? if not what other pistons could be adapted to suit? There is a guy here in Australia that I can buy some 10 to 1 flat tops from but they are .140(i think) oversize, expensive and I don't know if my bores have that much meat left in them.
Does anyone know if anyone produces tri Y headers to suit? I know there are aftermarket cast Avanti headers available but have read that the quality is not that great.
Has anyone tried to siamese the centre exhaust ports (make two seperate ports) so that headers can breathe better.
I have a 280 degree cam and delco distributor to go in.
Any help would be muchly apreciated....
