  • Rebuilt Hipo Engine?

    Quote from C6ZZKGT

    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.

    -Fred-

    The auction for this rebuilt Hipo 289 engine was ended by the seller August 5, 2019 with the following explanation "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available".

  • Nos outer tie rods

    Quote from relicdog


    On outer tie rods Manuel steer is there some sort of sleeve on threaded rod inside of boot,one tie rod has this an one don’t. Thanks, Relicdog

    Is this an NOS Ford tie rod end without a setup for a zerk fitting?

    -Fred-


    Yes Fred, these are nos outer tie rods, no zerk fitting, one looks like it has a sleeve of some sort on shaft under the boot the other one does not, which one is correct.


    There normally is no sleeve under the boot as it would not let the stud sit all of the way down in the taper of the spindle. Is this sleeve possibly the cardboard tube that goes between the nut and the boot on a new part just to make sure the boot stays put while in the box? You will need to carefully remove the boot to find out. It can easily be reinstalled. If you do ruin the boot, I have NOS ones.

    -Fred-


    [hr]
    Thanks Fred, you were right, it was a small piece of cardboard that had worked its way below the boot, this is a fine example of why this forum was sadly missed by us K-CODE owners, the answers to our questions are fast an dead on.

    Thanks again,
    Relicdog


    I feel like I did OK diagnosing this issue without even a picture. : )

  • Used High Profile 8K Rally Pac

    Here is an Ebay auction for a used high profile 8K Rally Pac by Ebay member "mustangmasters428" with a starting bid of $595.00:

    [size=2]Here we have an unrestored 1965 Non GT High Profile Rally Pac, featuring the 8000 RPM Tach used in 289 Hipo Small Block Mustangs. This is the correct Tachometer and Clock offered by Ford for their K code 271 horsepower 289 HiPo Mustang Fastback's Convertibles and even the Coupes. The clock and tach have been tested and are functional making them ready to plug and play for the owner who will only use time tested factory original parts.[/size]

    [size=2]The case has been moderately touched up disassembled and the lenses cleaned. The harnesses are not chafed and have no bare spots. We also included a original lead harness to hook it up in a car without this option. The mounting strap and rubber mounting pad are also original. So bid to use it since it needs nothing install and enjoy.[/size]

  • Used Hipo Chrome Valve Covers

    Here is an Ebay auction for a pair of used early Hipo chrome valve covers by Ebay seller "fordcobrajet428" with a starting bid of $250.00:

    These valve covers are the pent roof without any emissions.
    I believe these to be off of a 64 1/2 289 Hi Po or K Code Mustang,
    possibly a Fairlane, Comet, or Cyclone. These do not have an oil
    fill hole or PCV valve hole. Due your own research to see if this is
    what you need. Chrome is fair, light pitting, and a few little dents.
    Great for a survivor or daily driver. Any questions....call or email.
    Thanks

  • Engine ModifiKation

    Quote from HipoDunc


    Dan, from my observation, it looks like risking the destruction of valuable parts might mean we may never see or hear a proper GT40 perform in earnest again? Or are you thinking that those cars will have a suitable copy of a GT40 head from an aftermarket or even Ford's copy mounted in order to display the performance we so love to witness? My C6FE heads should be reserved for a real GT40 or Comp car, the likes of which I am likely never to never own. where should they reside? on a shelf or on an original engine that sits on display and never runs again? Now what do I do with them? anybody?

    Excellent thoughts on your part, Duncan. Personally I am wondering how many owners of original GT40 cars are willing to actually race them in vintage races with original engines?
