I'll stick it back in the corner if you ever change your mind. I was hoping you were closer. I totally understand, I'm the same way. I'm sure if your patient you'll find what your looking for. If I see something listed, craigslist, whatever, I'll send it along. I spent years chasing parts for my Fairlane, that's half the fun. Terry

Thanks Terry - appreciate it - yes I'm very patient, so hopefully I'll find my parts (and car) at some point. Btw, speaking of Fairlanes, a friend of mine had his '64 K Code Fairlane featured in the Feb. 2021 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines - beautiful car with a wonderful history.

Seen the article on Antilla's Fairlane. I've had a K Code Sport Coupe for 35 years.

Hi - I am interested in this block:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/ford-289-e…S0AAOSw5J5gOFAT
Are there any general thoughts you can share with me just from the pics? Price reasonable?
Thank you for any help you can provide,
Anthony

Once the rust is removed, make sure that the block gets Magnafluxed for any possible cracks. If you do not have the proper main caps, I do have a set.

Thank you! Yes, I was going to have it Magnafluxed if I purchase it. I don't necessarily need a 5-bolt, so not sure I want to pay a premium for one due to rarity. A clean, standard-bore 6-bolt (or ideally an entire HiPo engine) was my initial search plan.

For what vehicle are you seeking a Hipo engine?

I am currently searching for a '65/'66 Fastback K-Code and simultaneously searchng for parts to build my own engine to put into it. If the car that meets my criteria has a numbers-matching engine, I will be setting it aside to preserve it and will put my own build in it. I am searching for a K-code with good provenance, history, and ideally a racing history. (I have a want-ad on this site as well)

Keep in mind that no K code fastbacks ever came originally with a 5 bolt engine. Fastbacks were produced after the 6 bolt engine was used.

Oh great - thanks for alerting me to this - I didn't know of this important fact - I have to re-review my literature and make note of this. So coupes and convertibles only? Thank you
