    Running hipo 289 for sale, 5R09K201644 VIN


    I am getting ready to begin the restoration of the first GT350 produced, so the engine currently in 5S003 is for sale. I have no paperwork on the building of this motor, it was last put together by Doug Richmond who was the last person to vintage race 003 on the East coast. The motor was built in the late 1980's for its last season of vintage racing, it probably has less than 4,000 miles on it, of which 2,000 miles were put on in the summer of 2010. With its straight open side exhaust, it is a phenomenal sounding GT350. The motor has excellent balanced compression, I have had the motor up to a couple short bursts of 6,800 RPM's and it is still making power. The motor has been totally reliable during my ownership and is very streetable. The motor is still in the car, so it can be be started and driven as is. You may see an in-car video on "YOU TUBE", by putting in the title "5S003". I have plenty of references from people who have driven the car or who have been around it at various gatherings. Here is what I can best describe on the motor:


    Block: Vin 5R09K201644, C5OA-6015-E date; 5B4 (Feb 4, 1965) Assembly date, too much paint, can't make it out

    Main caps: HiPo 289

    Crank: oval FoMoCo on one of the rear throws

    Rods: Appears to be Carillos with 12 point SPS rods bolts

    Cam: Unknown

    Oil Pan: Aftermarket steel pan

    Dampner: Appears to be a HiPo 289, street version

    Heads: Edelbrock aluminum heads with roller rockers, added by prior owner, less than 2,500 miles on them, I have dated coded hipo heads for additional price, see bottom of ad .

    Intake: Large lettered COBRA repo intake.

    Carb: Holley double pumper, air horn milled off

    Pistons: unknown, drilled for balancing.

    All brackets and pullys appear to be proper C5 part numbers

    Alternator: C6AF10300, 15V, 42 amp

    R model style valve covers and head spacers, have modern taller Cobra valve covers too, take your pick.

    Distributor: MSD, I have a hipo distributor avalable as well

    Fuel pump/water pump: aftermarket replacements

    Headers: HOOKER super comps


    If they can be found I will give the current owner of this San Jose hipo fastback first rights to get their original block back, I will answer all other emails in the order they arrive to me. I will be away for the next two weekends, but will be around during the work week. To the person who buys this motor I will also offer a beautiful set of matching heads, they were taken off of a running 289 Cobra, dated, 5A11 (Jan. 11,1965), they are perfect for this block. I also have an original set of Buddy Bar open lettered valve covers and COBRA T oil pan, as well as a hipo distributor.


    Price for the motor as it is in the car now: $6,200.03

    My email is hov@blarg.net


    Thanks,

    Mark
