  • The reason that I titled this post with a question mark as there are no listed date codes for the heads or block. Is it a Ford distributor or aftermarket? I do not know how much choice is given to a buyer on this.

  • Here is an Ebay auction for a rebuilt Hipo 289 engine by Ebay member "secondchance427 (" with a Buy-It-Now of $11,500.00:

    66 block 030 over - H273CP pistons, HiPo rods & Hatchet

    Shelby Aluminum S2MS-A intake

    Original Buddy Bar Open letter Cobra valve covers

    Fresh 1964 dated HiPo heads

    Shelby reissue carb with Lemans bowls - List 3259-1

    Correct HiPo fuel pump - 3732S

    Correct HiPo engine mounts

    Cobra T pan

    Repop exhaust manifolds

    Repop correct HiPo air cleaner

    Correct HiPo water pump, balancer, yellow top coil, flywheel, crank and water pump pulleys

    Service dated Autolite C5OF-E 289 dual point distributor

    This is a very nice engine waiting for a K code car to go in.

    I recently bought a large Ford muscle parts collection and this was included. I have rebuild receipts for the shortblock. The block doesn't have any vin on it, the only con I see is the lower radiator hose outlet for the water pump is pretty pitted. Other than that, she's good to go.


    I ship all over the world, but if you are international, contact me before purchase. Otherwise $250 shipped via freight anywhere in the lower 48.

  • Be sure to ask many questions on this engine. It has Mexican main caps so it is NOT a verifiable original Hipo since it does not have a VIN. It has an Autolite distributor, 1964 heads and incorrect fuel pump. It does have correct motor mounts for 1965 and very early 1966 Hipo Kars. The repro items are self explanatory. I would be curious as the to block casting numbers.

    I would want to look at the rear main cap to verify that is a Hipo version. I say this as there are two other reproduction parts that come with this engine, the exhaust manifolds and the counterweight. I would also want to verify that it is a Hipo crankshaft. Whoever purchases this engine will need to take the short block apart and remove the rods from the pistons as the assembly will need to be balanced along with the flywheel and harmonic balancer that this engine does not have.
