    Here is an Ebay auction for a used C5OE Hipo harmonic balancer by Ebay member "mustangmasters428" with a starting bid of $395.00:

    Here we have a 1965 66 or 67 hard to find factory original C5OE 289 High Performance Harmonic Balancer. The Ford engineers felt it necessary to add the extra balancing to their 271 horsepower 289 Hipo 4 barrel power house. These hard charging motors received heavy duty rods and special crankshaft which demanded a thicker, heavy duty balancer for this high revving motor.
    A signature item of all 289 HiPo's, Ford also carried this design into their 68 J code 302 4v's which were used in GT 350 Shelby's changing nothing but the part number and adding proper timing marks. This item is also correct for a 68 GT 350 Shelby, and would make a good spare if not replacing your original unit.
    This part is an original C5OZ not the later C8ZE-6316-A offered by Ford as a service replacement part after they depleted their stock of original C5OZ's. Coming to you in good used condition free of gouges or stripped threads and rubber in good shape, we feel this unit will make a great addition or replacement for your worn or tattered original, and will bolt right on with no modifications and perform as originally designed. Whether as a spare, or as a replacement to get your car on the road, don't let this one get away as these are getting hard to find!

    This is a really rough appearing balancer so use your own judgment. Contrary to the sellers description, this balancer is NOT correct for a 68 GT350 or 68 J code 302 as they use an C8OE balancer and the outer ring on that one has extra cutouts in it for that application. They do have a similar appearance but are definitely NOT the same.

    This 1966 Ford Mustang is powered by a Hi-Po 289ci K-code V8 paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Nightmist Blue over a Parchment interior, this Mustang was ordered with factory options including the GT equipment package, interior decor group, visibility group, special handling package, styled steel wheels, and Rally-Pac clock/tachometer. The car was sold new by Town & Country Ford of Charlotte, North Carolina, and it is believed to have spent time in North Carolina, Ohio, and California before coming to Texas. The seller has owned the car for 14 years and has added approximately 12k miles. Items replaced under current ownership include the rear main seal, oil-pan gaskets, distributor cap and rotor, brake master cylinder, alternator, heater core, and battery. This K-code Mustang is now offered with sales literature, a copy of the window sticker, the removed AM radio and kick panels, a car cover, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.

    This Kar is in the registry and it is currently bid to $18,000. The engine has a C8ZE replacement harmonic balancer. The upper and lower control arms along with the tie rod ends are aftermarket. This Kar needs a prepurchase inspection done on some questionable items.

    This balancer has a date code stamping of I4. Being as Ford did not use the letter "I" in date codes, I fail to understand this one. Maybe the Ford worker who stamped this came from GM as they did use the letter "I" in their date codes which is September for a GM date code.

    Quote from Niko

    No, unfortunately they aren't hardened. I told the shop to use hardened seats but they didn't do it.
    And i think that im goona leave it as it is because i bought 100 bottles of lead additive for 1 dollar per bottle.

    Regarding the engine: I sent him your response as he asked me why i wouldn't do it.

    He said that it's a misunderstanding. He wont enlarge the ports. He wants to just "smooth them out" and to adjust the "transition area" and to slightly grind the valve sealing surface. That will make the engine run smoother and give some more power and fuel burning efficiency.

    I don't know if anyone is familiar with that procedure. I'm not but that doens't mean anything.

    Looking forward to your replies.

    Niko,

    Any of this is an unnecessary expense on your part as you will not notice a difference. You are not trying to build an economy car or an ultra performance version. At least it would not be detrimental to performance as the porting would be and it makes no sense to disassemble your engine for this. You would gain a lot more performance with headers, a larger set of exhaust pipes and mufflers, a larger camshaft and a larger carburetor. Do not forget to change the rods to a stronger version as you will also need to work the engine in a higher RPM range than Ford originally intended. Keep in mind that at only 6,000 RPM your pistons are moving up and down inside your cylinders 100 times per second. As long as the horsepower of the engine is increasing with RPM, you are gaining as you are exchanging that horsepower more times per second to move your Kar forward. All of your internal parts are trying very hard to escape their contained surroundings. Many times they successfully escape and ruin a perfectly good engine which degrades the value of your Kar as they are only original once. If your person feels the need to spend your money for performance, build a different engine and leave your original stored somewhere intact. It is not that expensive to build a higher performance engine compared to trying to replicate an original Hipo 289. You can buy aftermarket heads that will outperform modified Hipo 289 heads for far less money than original Hipo 289 heads. I could go on and on with this, but by now you should understand my concerns.

    Hipo 289 engines are not really known for sinking exhaust valves without hardened seats and your lead additive will be just fine. Just enjoy your Kar as it is the way Ford built it. If you want a hot rod, start with a different car.
