Yes, the casting number is for a early 5-bolt 289.
It will replace the 260 without any other change.

I have a tremec T5 in my tiger with now a 357 stroker. I do not think about the gearbox, as the Tiger is really light and with our tires, the grip is also limited. The gearbox had absolutely no problem with the 331 stroker, I had before. You have to convert the rear case of the T5 with a case from a...

headers for the Tiger
Hallo,
I need a pair of headers for my Tiger with a 331 Stroker.
The header should have 1 5/8" primary tubes and 2.5" Collector.
Is something like this available in GB?
Thank you for your help.
regards
Hans

I would always change the engine to a 5.0 HO for getting more power. It is too expensive to tune a 260 engine in the same way than a 302. If you take the bellhousing from the 302/5.0 HO, it is easy to get the transmission fixed on the bellhousing. You only need a small ring and 4 new holes for the s...
