In the book, "How to rebuild your small block Ford"

there are lists showing the various parts and the

one you list is only shown as a standard 289 block,

not HP.

I was under the impression there was no difference in a standard 289 block and a hipo block...

By 1966, 289 V-8 production was taxing the Cleveland Foundry to the limits, and it wasn't keeping up with the demands. To address this problem, Ford added the Windsor Foundry to supplement Cleveland production, and uses a new C6AE-C casting number for the Canadian blocks. The 289 HiPo engines were cast and assembled only at the Cleveland Foundry, and these Cleveland blocks continued to use the C5AE-E casting until the end of 289 production there...

That's right, Bo, because a C6AE-C block is a Windsor Foundry casting number, and Windsor did not produce the 289 HiPo engines.
