BAT/CL '66 that is familiar

Sure looks good in the ad, I can honestly say I have never seen the car in person but know the owner does upkeep on it whenever it calls for it. Nothing hidden here. Seems like a good price too, should go quickly.
 
Wayyyyy off topic but...

What benefit do the 289 heads give on a 260?

Just read the comments. They are a catty bunch.
 
Better breathing

I do not remember the size of the combustion chamber, Maliburevue is a numbers guy.

I think also adding 1.90 intake valves was easily done as well or it may be the reason it was a period mod.

I have driven a couple 260 cars and the blue car with it's 289 heads has a bit more pep.

It also does not complain a nick when forced to consume 87 octane fuel, I do think the combustion chambers are a little bigger.

Calling them a catty bunch is being nice. The site seems like a bathroom wall in a truck stop " Flag as not constructive " sure. I have seen Duke visits there as a ambassador for the Tiger truth.

Thanks for the info.

I was being kind. If it was my car, there would be expletives flying.

I do find the whole idea of a site for selling cars that allows comments odd anyway.
I'm sure there's a reason for it but it just strikes me as a magnet for trolls and anyone else selling similar cars.

These pics are older, MK2 , SV head light rings are not on car any more. We are looking at getting them reproduced. I am one of the guys who was able to get the AC air filter housings reproduced for the Tiger. If we do and you buy the car I will throw in a pair of headlight rings, Thanks Warren

There's more talk about those pesky new-fangled non-peaked headlight rings again!!! Maybe available in stores just in time for Christmas!!! :rolleyes:

I'm just sayin...

The 260 and 289 heads have the same size combustion chamber. The 289 has larger valves. Oddly, early 63 & 64 289 Hipo heads actually had a smaller chamber, with the exact same size valves as stock 289s, but in 1965 they went to the same size chambers as stock 289s.
