  • Super Swapmeet, Columbus Ohio

    Bob, et al, I too will be in the Buckeye Building (the building over by the Freeway) at Vendor Space F-27. I was told that is near the middle of the building toward one end?? Anyway, I should be easy to find as we will have our tent up with K-Code T-Shirts hanging up- look for the laundry. Hope to see all of you there and why don't we try to set up a time to meet and chat each day- say 4:00pm each day? Let me know what you think.

    Does anyone plan on going to the All Ford Swapmeet in Columbus, Ohio on November 25-26. It's held at the Ohio State Fairgrounds in 4 different buildings- this is the 20th Anniversary. I plan on going and if anyone else is going maybe we can meet up at a certain time at my Vendor Space. I do not have my space assignment yet, but will post it as soon as I get it. Hope to see a lot of you there.

  • The 4th Edition....

    Quote from SPECIAL ED

    About half way through the book. Excellent! Thanks to all who contributed. On page 6 it states there is a date stamped on the block on a boss on the front drivers side of block. I found it and it reads "5F4T". Can someone decode this date for me? Thanks, Ed

    5 is 1965, F is June, 4 is the 4th of June.

    The T, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it is a code for the employee who assembled the engine?? I'm sure there are some of you out there that know for sure what the T is, so if I'm wrong, please correct me.

    Geez...I guess I'm lucky because I never had any of my stock 289 High Performance engines fail in over 35 years with plenty of shifts at 7000 RPMs.

  • The 4th Edition....

    I should be getting the books from the printer by the end of this week. So I should start mailing them next week in the order in which they were ordered. I would like to thank everyone for their patience. I don't think that you will be disappointed with the Fourth Edition.

  • The 4th Edition....

    The printer should be getting the books back from the Binder this coming week. I should be getting the books from the Printer the following week and start the mailing process then. Those that ordered first will get shipped first- First In, First Out. For those of you who ordered merchandise along with the book, you should have received the merchandise (except for very recent orders) and I have not forgotten about you, you will receive the book separate. Thanks to all for you patience through this long ordeal.

  • The 4th Edition....

    Quote from CharlesTurner

    Any chance of getting a little preview? Just wondering if the content is different enough to get the next edition.

    The 4th Edition is all digital and is now a more professional product. There is additional information and more pictures. The pictures are larger, clearer, and brighter. There's new information, corrections, and new pictures. The registry grew by 57% from 947 to 1,490 and is now in gray/white tabular form. I don't think anyone will be disappointed with the 4th Edition.

    I think that I have confused everyone. If you ordered the 4th Edition via PayPal, everything is fine! But, if you sent me a check or Money Order via the MAIL, then please resend me your shipping address because the Mail Orders File got corrupted. Again, you do not have to respond if you ordered via PayPal. Thanks, Marv.

  • The 4th Edition....

    A quick update. I should be getting the ISBN and EAN numbers shortly. Once I receive them, the printer can add them to the book and begin printing. So I should be receiving the book in the next 2-3 weeks- for real! I'm still accepting pre-publication orders at the $28.00 price until 12:01AM on Tuesday 09/12/06. After that point the price will be considerbly higher. If you would like to order one, go to the Order HPM Stuff link and the information is there.


    If you have already ordered via USPS Mail, please resend me your Mailing Address as some of my addresses file has been corrupted- ONLY IF YOU ORDERED VIA USPS MAIL. Please do this as soon as possible so that I can ship the book to you as soon as possible. Thanks again for your patience. Marv.

    A note from Tony:


    Very shortly, the new 4th Edition of THE 289 HIGH PERFORMANCE MUSTANG will be released. I sincerely thank everyone that has been supportive of this website, registry and book. I am also very grateful for all the assistance and patience while waiting for this long-awaited 4th Edition. Especially to those who pre-ordered copies. Most importantly, I want to thank Marv Shaner for his tireless efforts in putting together this 4th Edition. Words cannot express how much time and effort he has dedicated to our hobby. I cannot also forget Hank Doby for his work keeping the website up and running. Thank you Marv and Hank!!! TONY GREGORY
