I don't see much discussion on the engine tag that is bolted to the intake manifold. Nothing in the HiPo book either. What do those numbers indicate? Mine reads:
first line 289 65 5
second line 4-K N 554 J.

I am trying to research an engine tag also.
1st line = 289 displacement 65 model year 5 level change
2nd line = 4 calender year K October N engine number prefix 554 engine number J engine number suffix.
In return for this info please tel me the build date of your car
Thanks

Engine tag decoding has been discussed here over the years. A lot of this detailed information now resides in the Archives in order to save "webspace" on the current pages. All inactive threads are sent to the Archives after three years. As a result, the <i>majority</i> of pages contained in this site now reside in the Archives. You can access the site Archives by clicking on the Archives icon [Blocked Image: http://www.hipomustang.com/hpmx/images/icon_folder_archived.gif] found on the right hand column of the forum home page, or check the Archives box when using the <i>Advanced Search</i> feature.
The "554" on the second line denotes a 64/65 K Code 289 High Performance Mustang with a manual transmission.
Thanks for the tip on the archive feature. I did not know about that.
Marti sells an excellent book about all tags on a Mustang.
Bought a signed copy from him personally at the 45th in Birmingham.
