  • Casting dates vs. build dates

    I am unclear as to when this happened, but logically in 1966, there were Kars built waiting for engines as Ford was having trouble keeping up with production even on standard 289's. Therefore it seems probable that there are Kars out there with engine build dates after the scheduled build date of the Kar. This is pure conjecture on my part but I have heard it enough times over the years that I tend to feel that there is some truth to it. And I did NOT hear it on the internet so maybe it is NOT true at all. : )

    The reason that I mention 1966 as being more likely is that Ford was having such trouble keeping up with 289 production that the came out with, I believe the "Sprint 6 package", probably the wrong name. The salesmen at that time were basically told to "demo the 8 and sell the 6". This was also the year that the Windsor engine plant began producing 289 engines, however all Hipo 289 engines were produced at the Cleveland plant, I am certainly open to discussion on all of this either way, but this is my belief.

    Also keep in mind that scheduled build dates are not carved in stone and are just scheduled dates and not actual production dates. Anything can hold up completing a car so the actual build date definitely can vary.

  • NOS C9OZ 6A564 B Push Rod Guide Plate

    Here is an Ebay auction for 4 NOS C9OZ 6A564 B push rod guide plates by Ebay member "welbury3028" with a Buy-It-Now of $35.00:

    These guide plates came out in the old Ford Muscle Parts program. These were meant to be used when substituting 351W cylinder heads for Hipo 289 heads or just as an improved head. These are great for repairing a 289 Hipo head where the push rod slots in the head have been compromised. All that needs to be done is to drill out the slots and install these guide plates below the screw in studs. These are thin and make it so that no extra machining of the heads are required. The aftermarket guide plates are thicker and require that the casting of the head where the rocker stud sits be machined down to compensate for the higher mounting of the rocker studs because of the thicker aftermarket guide plates.

  • Used Hipo Exhaust Manifold

    Here is an Ebay auction for a pair of used Hipo exhaust manifolds by Ebay member "gandharvas" with a starting bid of $1.00:

    HIPO 289 K CODE 1963 COBRA FAIRLANE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ORIGINAL C4ZE/C30E.

    If you are reading this, you know what you are looking at. These are almost the holy grail of Ford parts. Factory rated at 271 horsepower, these are the real deal: genuine, original HiPo K-Code manifolds. The LH Manifold is Cast C3OE-9431-B and the RH Manifold is Cast C4ZE-9430-A.They have been used, but great, original condition. No heavy rust or metal pitting. All of the ports and surfaces look good, but the ports looks like maybe there was some delamination/flaking of the top layer due to condensation. This is natural with cast iron manifolds and shows they are used. Should clean up nicely with a flap wheel. Looks like they have been painted. I picked them up for a project that didn’t happen. Comes with new mounting bolts, donut gaskets, and stud bolts for one side. Original stud bolts still on the other side.

    Clean them up and keep them original, or port match, extrude hone and ceramic coat these and you'll be happier with them than any header. Better heat retention, no torquing bolts, decent flow properties and lower under-hood temperatures.

    I also have a custom, 2.25" h-pipe made for these manifolds. Let me know if you are interested in them and I will post them separately.

    Let me know if you have specific questions or need specific pictures, etc.


    On Jan-18-20 at 13:45:59 PST, seller added the following information:

    Re: casting numbers. You can see the outline of the cast-in tag in pictures 9-11, but they aren’t very clear. They read: “5 18 5” on the drivers side and “6 2? 5” on the passengers side. Thanks! Message me for detail pictures.
