  • Used C8ZE Heads

    Quote from C6ZZKGT


    Here is an Ebay auction for a pair of used C8ZE heads by Ebay member "fordluvr2" with a Buy-It-Now of $2,000.00 or make offer:

    This is a pair of used 289 HI-PO heads. These were also the heads sent to Crane Cams to make the famous "CRANE FIREBALL" heads. This set in particular, never had the emission holes taped into the exhaust ports. Which gives these heads all sorts of possibilities as far as porting goes. This pair has all the standard HI-PO factory upgrades as well. Factory screw in studs. Cast valve spring cups. 20 and 21 on the corners of the heads. These heads are service replacements with casting C8ZE-B, dated 8-F-20. Very nice heads, look like they may have been milled on the block side at some point. Missing one rocker and stud. Will need to be rebuilt to use.

  • Restoration Guidance Please

    Quote from Hopeto


    "Would the car be worth significantly more if restored as a 4 speed and solid lifter car ?"
    Yes, IMO.
    The question is why are you concerned? If flipping it then it will be worth more the closer to original.
    If you're planning on keeping it for yourself then build it the way that makes you happy. It's your car!
    BTW, I've seen several 4 speed K's that have added A/C.

    +1 although this is how original Hipo drive trains get separated and lose sight of the Kar eventually but in your case it is just the transmission.

    The washers in these kits are not the ones that everyone is looking for as these are a different style. There should also not be any sleeves in these kits.

  • Air Cleaner advice

    Quote from Hopeto


    HiPo Down Draft tubes, unicorns, hens teeth and an honest politician are all in the same rarity stratosphere! Good luck in your hunt.

    I have successfully modified a standard road draft tube to fit on my very early 65 Koupe. It looks good and works well and unless you had a Kar with the correct one next to it, you would never know although I would tell you. The difference is very slight.

  • The Old 289 HIPO Mustang Site

    Quote from K-Conv


    I was a member of the old forum and wondered just what happened to it. Also, is this one associated with the old one or a replacement for it? I'm also wondering if all the information on the old site is secure and if it will be incorporated into this one. My Kar's VIN was registered on that site.

    This site was created to replace the original one because we were unable to get any cooperation from the original operator to transfer the information to anywhere. They claimed that the site was broken and the information was unrecoverable. I find this to be a lie as I was posting on the old site for at least 6 months after he turned it off for "maintenance". The only reason that I kept posting was in the hopes that he would bring it back up and at least I was keeping it current although only through a "back door" as the site was technically down. I was the west coast moderator on the old site so I was able to figure out a "back door" access.

    Therefore all of the registry stuff disappeared on one persons whim. The only records are in the Tony Gregory book which is out of print and Tony Gregory will not authorize another printing. The only copies still out there for sale are with Tony Branda, I believe.

  • Air Cleaner advice

    Quote from rtate


    Thanks for the information !
    Like many Mustang things ,they are not simple answers.
    My car is a December 10 1964 build date( does this make it an early or late build ?) and the DSO is Canada
    So would I have thee pcv valve and the bottom nipple ?

    Being as your Kar had a Canadian destination it is likely that you would have had a road draft tube and an open emission system. Being as your Kar is a 1965 model and built before March of 1965, the road draft tube would be attached to the right hand valve cover where the PCV valve would have gone. To help verify how your Kar was originally equipped, the original carburetor tag has that information by as part of the code, if you have it. Another way is to look at the spacer plate under the carburetor for the nipple for the PCV hose to see if it is open or not although this could have been replaced over the years. All that said, you do NOT need the nipple on the lower part of the air cleaner assembly.

    If you do need a road draft tube, the Hipo one differs from the standard 289 due to the different exhaust manifolds.
