I still have this block for sale. It's a late 63 casting for a 64 model year vehicle. Probably a Fairlane, could've been a Cobra. It's been verified by Bob Mannel. There's no VIN on it. Blocks this early didn't get VINs on them. It's .030 over on the cylinders. Might be able to stay at .030 over. Here's what's included.
"C4" HiPo 289 block with correct main caps.
NON HiPo 289 crank
NON HiPo 289 rods with .030 over pistons.
Anything not listed above is not included. No cam, no lifters, no oil pump, no timing parts, no front cover, no balancer.
Price is $1100 plus shipping for all, OR if someone just wants the main caps, I'll sell them for $1100 and I'll cover the shipping. I'd hate to scrap the block, but if nobody wants it...
Bottom view of all five HiPo main caps.

Full Disclosure: Block has these straps added to all freeze plugs. A racing thing people used to do. Probably not a problem. Take them off or leave them.
