a 289 is a 289 of course it will work

 

i was told that the earlier 289 did not have the same power as the later ones

 

The first 289was a D code at less than 200 horsepower.

 

If it runs and the transmission is good and you get the A/C and P/S pumps, sure. The only difference between a 67 and a 66 289 is the 67 required smog equipment. Only California requiredsmog equipment on a 66 and even then, the stupid politicians wrote the law to read - 'sold after Jan 1, 1966', not model year 1966, not 'built after' but 'sold after'. So much for my soapbox. The transmission has a different shift pattern however, no big deal. They are a spares anda commodity, something to trade or sell.

the add doesnt say anything about it being rebuilt

 

Andrew, it is the same engine. If you want to buy it and put it in your car, it will bolt right up.

 

doesnt look very rebuilt to me [&:]
