well ive never looked myself.. this girl just makes it seem like the hardest motor to build in the world. i dont know whats done to hers but for a 40+ year old engine it moves. my 5.0 is faster but her car seems to pull harder.. gotta love those 4 barrels

my buddy has a 66 coupe w/ a 289 and he smoked me. claims he doesnt know whats done to it because his dad bought the car for him. i also rebuilt a 289 at school w/ an edelbrock intake and a holley 4barrel. but havent gotten the chance to start it yet. and i think it would be a 4.9Liter?

no, it's a 4.7 liter. if you want to get technical. the ford 302 is actualy a 4.9liter.

289's are destroked 302's...block is the same and parts are interchangeable....being an early block, it's stronger than the 5.0L blocks, same deck height....the only major differences are a 2-piece rear main seal and not roller ready (short boss lifters)......

welll.. kinda true. lol.. but a 302 is actually a stroked 289. they made the 302 to make an engine be as close as they could to a 5.0 liter rulle for the trans am racing series of the late 60's.. same way the chevy 302 came along.. but that was actually a destroked 327 i think.

parts are hard to find. 289 was only used for what.. 4 years i think? one of my co-workers has a 64-1/2 mustang with a 289 and shes been "trying" to build it up for years now

yea almost anythin from a 302 is bolt on to a 289, and they are great motors, light weight and cant be killed but a big carb and cam w/ a set of afr 165's they work and you will have one hell of a nasty motor
