Default Difference in HiPo and reg.

What are the differences in the HiPo and regular 289? Beefeir? could I slap on a intake manifold on my regular 289 if it was made for the hiPo?

One of the easiest ways to spot the difference is that the Hipo 271hp/289 has no harmonic balancer. The crank was internally balanced and only has a steel pulley on the front of the engine.
