I have a 289 Hipo engine that is currently in a 1959 F100 that I may be interested in selling though not sure what the asking price should be.
History of the engine (it was my fathers who had passed away so this is mostly from memory):
Purchased in pieces in early 80's with a Ford Falcon that was used for drag racing. The owner was intending to build the hypo for drag racing but decided to sell car and motor instead.
The block was new (unused) - PN: C6A#-6015-C
Not sure about pistons or crank. Engine was assembled by a builder but unknown who.
Heads are Hypo with 19 and 20 corner castings.
Harmonic balancer - PN: C50E
Flywheel with Brinnel test mark and orange paint daub - PN: C30E-6380B
Running hydraulic lifters so cam is not Hipo.
Intake, carb and distributor also not Hipo.
Engine has been in truck since 1982, never run hard. Has approximately 50,000 miles on engine. Not used much the last 20 years but did get at least some mileage each year.
I'm assuming since it is not a complete Hipo engine it will not get more than the sum of selling parts separately but just looking for a price someone may be willing to pay for something like this. It really deserves to be in a Mustang.
