Last one, C50E-F, never ran it, had a agreement with Mallory and their I-R distributors, with lifetime warranty.
Gear indicates no wear or miles.
Housing is immaculate, and I never clean these low mileage take-offs.
date is 6BD and no Leap Year.
On E-Bay shortly, with pictures.
Bunch of other 289 junk:
bellwhousing, timing case cover, HIPO valve covers, and a cast iron water pump.
Is C8OE, a '69 Boss 302 casting number on the WP?
May break into excess top loaders, 9" Diff, Traction-Loks and 3.50 OEM R & P.
Trying to reach an NOS LT-1 engine for my '69 Camaro,and swap-out the DZ engine.
Ford inventory is blocking it.

Al:
Just brought my 69 SS Camaro back from Scottsdale. In some way, it has had a JA code '67 Vette 427 installed, or at leaast the short block, one of 16 L-88's made.
Since it is an X-55 car, it should have had a small block. 3.73 posi and M-21 are still there.
Have my last K engine, had 8 back-ups for 3 Fastbacks and GT-350's.
Fresh .0198 on the bores. 6B15, OEM 6B23 matching heaads, std crank, hatchet, narrow gear still on it, OEM rods and pistons, recent matching 6Bd dist and 2 21 6 exhaust manifolds, NOS damper, and matching timing cover with real cat iron water pump, not aluminum, + pulley, pan too & near NOS Bell with orange paint all over it.
Needs OEM fan and carb, Have NOS 4100 with choke, re-pop Branda fan B 84 and trade bait 4C30 intake, early K engine.
Balanced 60,000 miles and 43 years ago, on the heavy end of the rods. Worst modification.
Have jpg's of compomnents, headed for E-Bay when prices go back-up.
Plus friends with 3 Cobra shops, and I have them hot tank, hone or measure or the parts, especially 427 MR and SCJ parts.
So far, all perfect, except one 427 aluminum head might have had porosity on one water port? Was beefed-up, internally. Might have, did not leak when tested.
Right now K parts are dirt cheap on E-Bay.
Many Beat to XXXX, but cheap!!!
Have an LT-1 engine as well, except not made in '69.
Extra step, costly, $$, with Cobra shop has prevented any returns. 40K of Boss, SCJ and 427 MR E-Bay sales last year, cleaning out the bed of my '67 ElKY, for future sale.
Will down-size to 69 SS, 69 CJ & 70 SCJ mule or test/dyno car + modern cars, aluminum Jeep & Marine Tanks.

SOLD
delivered and superb upon receipt.
Thanks, RAY
K engine is in the same category + I'm always worried about 30 over blocks on FORD engines and then seating the rings.
Recent 460 build-up, F-250, had a Cobra shop reject my standard bore 460 for porosity or rust from inside the water jacket and outward.
They went '69 on D0VE or C9 T-bird 429, and started over with another 30 over-size boring, with torque plate.
2,900 miles later to Kentucky base, trip to Livonia Ford warehouse, NOS hood, rings seated & revs like a small block with lighten rotating assembly.
'66K engine, other listing in in the same category, perfect core and fresh 20 over.
Same shop did the heads, Tony Carey.
Should run great Ray, SS valves and new seat rings, will be around for decades.
Enjoy!!!!
PS:
requested owner do machining, in-house, and assembly, no Bill Mitchell or Keith Kraft employees + GUARANTIED!!

No offense taken Kevin...I was just indirectly commenting facetiously about the "special" price offered to us for the heads.
sorry Ed..my Bad...an attempt at humor.

====================================================
Special Ed:
Best place in the country to buy parts and cars... Cooperstown. I got a '69 W-30 car for peanuts, and the AZ collector with 50+ cars, buys my my L-78/88 parts, bought a '71 GS X for next to nothing.
His was under a car cover for decades, every panel looked like a pump Remington had blasted it from 300 meters.
On the W-30, I kept the 12 bolt with 4.30 Pos-A-Traction. The rest was worth $20 a ton for scrap iron minus gas tank and oil pan.
Buffalo might be in the running with excessive salt spreading. Albany looks like Paradise in compason.
Even tracks on the door glass were rusted.
No '65 Mustangs had J30 components in them from the same year.
Hard steel alloy seats, silicon bronze guides are much better than 1965 or 1966 factory materials. They did not envision: low octane 93 gas, no lead and 10% methanol on pump gas.
+ I pay extra, $$, for a Ford only or Cobra shop to work on 428/427 parts.
Anybody and can go to a Chevy shop or a shop around the corner, that did Honda heads 30 minutes ago.
Bad comparison your heads vs these heads and ZERO hours.
Looks like 6 buyers want these heads, Ray is in 1st place, 5 more days and they are history.

1966KGT special price?
=================================
Randy has some Boss 302 heads for you? $2K less and will outflow these OEM K heads. He says " B 302 street intake will work. "
Going fast!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BOS…bayphotohosting
Twice the work, better and more parts: I spent $ 341.00, more, at a name, COBRA, shop/machinist.
Item number: 320186778362
To quote Randy or his brother: "Over $1000 of machine work and parts were spent on these haeds and due to a change in plans these were never installed"
Can't beat purple or lavender Imron, adds Hundreds, $$.
Also when Scottsdale, the auctions, arrive in Jan, any guess on the S.P. of the cars that ran HI-PO's in them?
I think Randy, Jim, Tony and Keith know this as well, two of those dealers refuse to sell used or NOS parts. It must be part of a crate motor, built by them, hot run and dyno'd.
I more familar with their 427 and 428 Cobra Jet engines as I run them as well as Genesis and DOVE, blocks/heads.
Any guesses on their prices?

Matched set, done by Tony Carey, special price for the K Exchange, $2,750.00
C5OE casting - both 5J30, better than show quality, Special alloy Stainless and titanium grade hardness on valves and seats.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/…em=200180576767
leaving for Fort Knox on the 4th, then other Marine base, will return around the 20th. e-mail works until the 9th
PS complete K engine available, fresh .0198 over, std on the rotating assembly, with OEM std pistons attached
-
Have the best set of low mileage 5J30 heads around, perfect seats, no wear in the guides, and had to blast the welded-on asbestos OEM intake gaskets off intake ports/face in the '70's. OEM hardware, pure junk, is still around too. Good part.
Bad part: sent to highly respected shop, strictly heads, and said "do it to it". Don't touch the ports, don't mill or alter any castings from the factory.
More Bad: Best SS, Black Knight or Coated valves, Comp hardware, 10 degree locks, Titanium retainers and on. Springs: dual purpose, won't kill the small hi-po cam, and will run a Shelby salomn cam.
Last bad news: I requested that the owner work on my heads, at $200.00+ an hour, no kids. Retail on Titanium, check will be easy 1K before UPS from Van Nuys.
Fully Guaranteed and owner calls this "resto-mod- 60's, as 99% of their work is billet, aluminum, all new, + Pro Stockers pay thousands, $$ per head or flowed intake - labor charge only.
Also breaking-up a K engine, as I need 6Axx or 6Bxx dates to be on top on the 6B15 block

Looks like the BOSS 302 TOP LOADER will be going to a Boss Owner in Florida, TODAY. Although I found two stalled, last 30+ years, '70 Boss 302 projects, in LONG ISLAND.
OE Engines are in 30+ pieces, as 351 Clevelands were installed to beat 1970 LT-1's. Good Luck, on that?
Trying to convince them to buy it. If not, sell the cars to me as I have NOS parts to finish anything on the drive-train and clean-out that one garage, for my L-78 Camaro arrivinmg from Scottsdale.
Incidently, Fred, M-22, with a 2.20 first + a factory 3.73 POSI. Not very good on the highway, for interior vibration, low decibles, or gas mileage. Easy 450 and up, factory hp with minor changes, e.g. 325 CFM factory intake ports might be one reason?
-
Have a set of new, special production, late '70's, Cobra Valve covers listed on E-Bay.
Special price for HiPo Exchange members - $175.00
These do not leak and no warpage.
For C6ZZKGT, OE, if your car rolled-off a LA line?
Very common dealer installed option or owner installed.

PS Inventory reduction, or '67 ELKY bed cleaning.

"I am not knocking the use of a wide ratio trans for use with tall gears for highway use. I am merely stating that the RUG-AV trans, although it will fit, is not the original close ratio trans as Ford deemed proper for the original Hipo 289 cars".
-Fred-
C6ZZKGT/FRED:
Absolutely CORRECT. If you have a 100 point concours 271 hp Mustang, or original everything, paint included. Say my friend, John's, 7,000 mile CJ convertible, Scottsdale, AZ, I'd leave it alone.
For every one of those B-J or Kruse cars, I see 999 that have been rebullt, re-paneled, re-painted and re-everything. Module in dist, Comp springs, retainers, and locks, and maybe low mileage, NOS or no mileage input, sliders, shafts and gears; seem very concealed to me,e.g. in the OEM case and tailshaft housing and everything fits, if cherry picked.
Same applies to changing the R & P gear, very concealed.
As you know "deemed proper" is not the correct word for the 25 spline output shafts on many 271 powered Mustang.
That should have been a factory re-call.
rick
PS Forgot about the little Saleen SSC with a Detroit Locker and 3.73 LSD 8.8.
World's worst car on the highway, simply roars with Walker mufflers, until shifted to 5th on the TKO. All factory Saleen, 17" chrome pin wheels and 275/35/17 Yoko's. That is a 100 point car, not by choice.
My late model Chevy products with a 6 speed and LS-6 are a dream to drive on the highway and they run a 3.42 Auburn posi.
-
This RUG-AV trans is a wide ratio version. I also checked the pictures in the auction to verify this. 70 Boss 302's were available with both a close ratio and a wide ratio trans. It is not what we use in our Hipo cars as they are all close ratios.
-Fred-
C6ZZKGT/Fred:
I missed the obvious, the two big inputs are close ratio and a real easy conversion, to most hi-po 4 speeds, Change 4th gear, pilot bushing, disc, and then the main shaft, adapter bushing, and 31 spline yoke. Whenever I'm in a Cobra shop, that is all I see next to the cars, big input/big output. Usally 10-12 cars at any point in time.
I'd consider the 1&3/8" as good as it gets on the bullet-proof top loaders.
Similar, conversion, to the Petronix module, in the OEM distributor, that Royce Petersen does to all his 427/428 Cougars, frequently on Hollenbeck's site. Knows his Fords, better than most.
I like the Durspark set-up and easily found for most FORD engines that had points.
Our, really Frank's, '70 SCJ, now runs a Big input wide ratio, David Kee supplied, and 3.50 N case, through mufflers on stock width tires. Drives to Englishtown, NJ and cuts through NYC traffic to get there. Last year, low 11's, went Keith Craft & 15K, $$, for a Gensis based CJ engine and guaranteed 600+ hp. Up 63hp from the old 428 that I'm familar and constantly pulling his OEM parts for inventory or back-ups.
Great test mule, show condition, wide ratio and no point deduction!!!
Did I forget fast?

================================================
Fred:
depends on your final gear ratio? I had 6 K fastbacks, and a GT-350, at least three of them had problems with the Equal-lok and the 3.89 or 4.11 were long gone. 3.00 was replaced. 3.50 would have done the same with a 2.32 first.
Balanced & Blueprinted 289 -271 HP did one of two things, bogged off the line or spun the 8" wide tires, 200 feet. Another K had a wide ratio installed, another worked 271 hp engine, it was the fastest K in the fleet from 0-90 mph with a 3.50 LSD.
Have a low mileage, almost NOS, 4.30 rear-end assembly from drum to drum. Can not give it away, unless one considers $800.00 reasonable?
If you like to spin your engine at 4,000+ rpm at 75 mph or 5,000 rpm at 85 mph, which was common on I-10 last week; by all means run a close ratio and 4.11's.
Don't forget the ear plugs, forget the radio, conversations and Moly rings and Federal Mogul bearings are in your future.
There is an alternative or don't drive the car on an Interstate Highway.
I've gone the other way on my tow vehicle. F-250 with a Dana 60 and 3.08 gear, BFG All-Terrain, and 17 mpg at 85mph. Load or no load, same mileage. Truck is very quick too. E-Series have the same problem with full floaters.
Need more gear? I'm sure those 4.30 gears will spin your engine at 6,000 rpm at 90 mph, then invest in SpeedPro stock & Mobil 1 oil.
I was speaking about dimension, and the fact the OEM gears, sliders, cluster, forks, and shafts are like new.
Last '66 trans, I tore down had wear on everything, I got buried in NOS parts, which I will not do again. Then swapping a better main shaft.
I prefer OEM, Kees buys aftermarket from the same place that I buy my small parts kits.
I suspect most '65 & '66 Mustang top loaders will be no different than that Big Input Galaxy?

Bought from HI Perf Ford Dealer, for parts, as I was always replacing 2nd gears in the '70's. His idea! F119 build date and out of an early '70 Boss 302. Never taken apart as all my Super T-10's, T-10's, T-10M or Top loaders that were raced were close ratio.
Direct bolt-in for the wide flange 289 bell housing. All original FORD gears, sliders, forks, cluster.
Special price for K Exchange - $1,500.00
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/…:MESE:IT&ih=010
All my rebuilds run NOS Ford gears and are very quiet, same with R & P, with Equal-lok or Traction Lok N cases.
HEH - '66 Big input Galaxy Top Loader also available - DONE
$ 1,600.00
RUG AE - Big Input Torino trans is laying around
$ 800.00
both tough fits in an early or 289/302 Mustang.
'67 390 Top Loader is there as well
$800.00
Have much more, these are clutter, in a '67 El Camino bed or in a trunk of a 325IC, one is going to Kentucky facility, & soon.

RPM:"You should post casting numbers and date codes as most of these people on here that's all they really care about"
RPM, You should read the title. I wanted to avoid redundancy.
If they get burned with sunk valves, integral guides beat-out of the heads, or E-Bay under water heads, missing cast iron, blasted silver with steel shot... I'd say they would have the right to be very angry and then frustrated with return shipping, and quite possibly never receiving their hard earned CASH back.
5 = 1965
J = September, I believe on the Heads?
30 = last day of the month
both identical
C5OE - xxxx
does "65" casting and "289" casting mean much?
If you can find Ratcliff or Henderson? I'll leave them with the Marine Tankers, and you can inspect then for originality and more.
Have an E-Bay item number, if you need it?
As A-B'd to the R code GT-350 heads,i.e. completed sale, marked "HP".
If neeeded, jpg's are available, grain of white sand or a white cat hair are amplified 20+ times and only 1 meg. 7 megs is my limit on max resolution.
My jpg's are better than words.
A little hard to fake cast spring pockets & 5J30?
Not too many other car lines, say Galaxy,Thunderbird, or F-Series running Hi-Po's? Falcon could be a possibility? I saw only 260 and 289 hydraulic lifter engines in the 4 speed Falcons.

Date coding to a B15, 1966, 271 hp engine, need a set of matched heads. Would like unmolestd heads, as very hard to add deck metal or cast iron to the ports.
Semi-serious amaeteur collector, only 20+ cars, a few trucks, & 5 Marine tanks with weapon systems.
Almost out of the 271 inventory.
Bunch of 9" traction-loks rears, top-loaders, big input and SCJ and Shelby parts left in the beach house location.
see r.states for current E-Bay sales, level of quality.
All money losers, as '67 ElKY is leaving, another SCJ or '69 L-78 Camaro arriving, e.g. no bed.

Breaking-up my K engine, real low mileage K heads, seats perfect, guides perfect, and just given to my favorite Cobra shop. Old hardware will be in the garbage, new SS & Comp components. Hopefully I can hold the owner back on new new silicon bronze guides and seats. No shop staff work on my parts. Former not needed. $1500.00 = SP.
Cobra shop will get easy $750.00, labor charge.
Fully guaranteed and perfection.
No PORTING ever.
NO MILLING ever.
NO 8,000 rpm, FLOATED exhaust valves.
Anticipating the E-Bay and blogger complaints.
not $100.00 ot $110.00!
If you any true Hi-Po parts for those prices, RANDY will buy trailer loads with spot CASH.
