My 289 makes that rattle sound too. Must be those starters.

No this made that rattle clang, bang, knock, rattle, knock, rattle knock, bang, thud, thud, clang noise... its rythmic like a gnome inside the engine with a hammer trying to punch a hole through the block to get out....

depends on what years your covering.... the 255 was used for a brief time in the early 80's and then obviously the 4.6's from the mid 90s till present.

im guessing since mustangs came out half way thru 64 and they stopped the 260 in august there must not be too many of them around right? they worth more than a 64 1/2 289?

i've said it before and i'll say it again - i'd take a 289 over a 302 for street driving cause they will rev a tad quicker. snappy is gooooood

352s were in trucks and big cars. Not a performance engine and it wasnt offered in a Mustang, at least that I have ever heard of. The 390 was the smallest FE they offered.

Those were the engines in classic Mustangs, although Ford had a bunch of different displacements. And the BOSS engines cant be forgotten..lol. but the ci was the same anyway.
