Hello Charles, Sorry I didn't know you would have these. Chris this is a person you can count on to deliver the CORRECT part.

Thanks Chuck for the 64 HIPO Generator I picked up from you a few years ago. Had it rebuilt and applied the stamp and it looks as it did when new.

Hello Chris,

Look for a Cloyes S-350. I'm not certain if the S-350 is correct for the 67 HIPO but Cloyes still makes them.

Other than the VIN stamp and Main Caps, what is the difference between a HIPO Block and a regular block? I don't think there is any difference. Even with a VIN stamp and main caps doesn't guarantee it's a HIPO block.

Thanks very much Gene for the outstanding pictures. Especially the one of the backing plate. Thanks to you and Fred I know exactly what I'm looking for.

I would also like to add, those are some beautiful examples of the first K codes.

Gary, The 289 emblem is the same as the 65/66 Mustang. The engineering number on the back side of the 63/64 Fairlane High Performance emblem is C3OB 16C236 A.

-Fred-

Thanks very much for this information Fred. So I should be looking for a C3OB 16C236 A emblem? If I could just find one of the back side emblems I would be able to use lost wax casting and create two identical ones.

With the information you gave me I will at least know what an original looks like. I saw one on ebay a year ago but it was one piece but cast from metal. Up and until now I thought that was an original one.

Thanks again for the valuable information.

Fred,

Thanks for that information. I have been looking for a one piece emblem thinking that was correct. Do you happen to have a picture of both pieces front and back?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

Much taller then then one used on the Mustang. This style will not fit on a mustang because it is to tall and will not seat flush due to the body sculpting.

I have a repop set from Dearborn classics for $35 if you want them until you find a real set. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Thanks Brian. I have a set of the plastic ones from Dearborn. I'm trying to get the original cast emblems.

Another and most obvious difference between the Fairlane and Mustang emblem is the fact that the Fairlane is one piece while the Mustang is two piece.

Thanks again for the help.

Hello,

I am looking to purchase the Fender Emblems for a 63/64 HIPO Fairlane. I have posted the same request on Fairlane Club site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary

Thanks Bo and Dave for the info. When I get to working on these Ford numbers I get dizzy trying to figure it all out.

Thanks for your help,

Gary

garymcgowan_old · Correct Date for Fan garymcgowan_old May 29, 2010 at 8:14 PM

Hello Bob, how you been? So lets say an engine like mine was assembled on Feb 17, 1966 and the car show a projected assembly date in May of 66. Is it possible to have a fan with a date of Apr 66 and still be correct?

Have you had the time to do anything with the starter info yet?

Thanks for your help,

Gary

garymcgowan_old · Correct Date for Fan garymcgowan_old May 29, 2010 at 9:05 AM

Thanks BoS. Is Jan 66 the build date for the car or the assembly date for the engine? This brings up another question. Was the fan date based on the assembly date of the engine or the build date of the car?

Thanks,

Gary

garymcgowan_old · Correct Date for Fan garymcgowan_old May 29, 2010 at 7:33 AM

The build date on my K engine is 6B17C. Can anyone tell me what the correct range of dates would be correct for my engine? I tried searching for the info but was unable to find what I was looking for. Thanks for any help given.

I will take some new pics over the weekend for you. I will take it out of the garage so I can get some good light on the subject and hopefully get some better pics.

Does anyone know how much a complete original 3x2 setup is worth?
