Has anyone ever seen hipo man caps with these markings before? These were taken off a very early 1963 block. The content cannot be displayed because you do not have authorisation to view this content.

This was hanging in a barn with the carburetors installed. It was purchased in 1966 to be installed on a Shelby GT350. The owner used it on his car until it was sold in the late 70’s. It’s believed that this has been hanging in the barn since then. The carburetors both have the casting cracked/broken at the air cleaner stud location. I will include 2 more 3259S carburetors that are good. Both are 65 date codes.

I was in attendance at the Mid-America Shelby meet held in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This event has a long history and certainly is a must attend for any enthusiast. Jim Wicks, started this show over 50 years ago.

Chuck, Do you still have the Hipo rods by chance? pfriend1963@icloud.com

Putting a real Hipo engine together that I mostly inherited. June 1965 dated block.matched april 1965 heads. Balanced w flywheel. Lightweight forged pistons. Buddy bar cobra valve covers. Branda cobra t pan….

I’m getting ready to put the front cover on my 1965 Hipo engine and I’m just wondering if the tin, crankshaft, oil seal protector is utilized in these engines. Thanks.

Is Holman Moody still grinding camshafts? You might Google them and inquire about having one ground.

I am looking for a nice original set of Hipo 289 rods or boss 302 rods to complete an original project. Thanks,Paul

I was just reading that and to be correct. I’m going to have it swapped out. Thanks again.

Happy New Year Everyone! I am currently rebuilding a 1965 Hipo engine which has a date code of 5F17 (June 17 1965) My question is… would this engine be painted blue or would this engine be painted black? Also, would it have the aluminum early water pump or the later cast-iron pump? Thanks, Paul

I am just now seeing your response🤦🏻🤦🏻 do you still have these rods for sale? Thanks, Paul.

Thanks for the response Tim, but I went ahead and placed an order for one through Branda and I did finally receive it. Paul

I’m interested in the rods if they are available. pfriend1963@icloud.com

I am looking for a good set of connecting rods. Either true hipo with a rectangular bolt or a set of boss 302 rods with the football headed bolt.

Are these rods still available?

I just ran across a Hipo 289 with some non original stuff listed on a Facebook page.
