Can anyone tell me if Ditzler paint is available and if so where? I'm looking for DAR-13358 enamel for my engine.

Thanks for your help, Gary

Quote from marv

Gary, the answer to your question is that Tony's book is correct and you have the right Pistons.

Thanks Marv.... I was sure that it was. I just wanted Bob to think about his statement and correct it so future readers know the correct piston to buy and that Tony's book is correct.

Quote from C6ZZKGT

I am unfamiliar with TRW numbers however a 289 and 302, except Boss 302, use the same piston. The difference in the stroke is made up by the shorter rod on the standard 302. Ford did not relocate the pin hole on a standard 302.

Thanks Fred. Gary

You don't want the L-2482F piston as that's the wrong piston for 289.That piston is for a 302 and the wrist pin location is wrong and rod center line is different on the 302.

Bob,

So the info on page 12 of Tony's book is wrong?

Thanks,

Gary

Welome Keith to the best site I know of for information on our beloved K codes. I don't know of a body for your drive train but have seen them on ebay from time to time without engines and more often with a regular 289 or 302.

Hope this helps

I need a set of .30 over pistons for a HIPO engine. Anyone know where the best place is to purchase them?

Thanks for your help,

Quote from 66gtk

Except that I have all the electrical harnesses and accessories already off the car! Thanks for the tip, though. Any other thoughts?

Troy, I have always used a very strong impact wrench to remove them from my 302 engines. I have never removed one from a 289 but it should be the same.

Hope this helps,

Gary

Thanks Dave. I contacted Crane Cams in Daytona Beach, Fl and was told they did not put any ID mark on the heads. If anyone has a set of these heads and can add some info to this I would appreciate it.

Quote from dunc289

which heads aare you talking about?

Duncan, all I know is they were 289 HIPO heads apparently purchased from Ford by Crane Cams. They took the heads and did a port and polish job on them and installed over sized valves.

This is a link to a set that sold on ebay with pictures.

Can someone tell me if these heads had any marks showing they were re-worked by Crane? If so, and you have a picture of the markings I would greatly appreciate it. Any help greatly appreciated.

garymcgowan_old · DeCode a number on K code head garymcgowan_old March 11, 2007 at 9:45 PM

Can anyone tell me what this number means? C50E It is on a K code head with the raised 21 in the corner. The other head has C72E with the raised 20 in the corner. Both heads have the spring seats cast in the head and screwin rocker studs. I'm guessing it is a date code but not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Gary

On edit: I think I have figured this out thanks to a post by RacCol. These are crane fireball heads.

Thanks Ken but I got the intake I needed. I will check the dates on some other intakes I have to see if they will work for you.

Bob, I bought mine for CJ Pony. Don't remember the price but it wasn't that expensive. I think there were two that went under the hood. You should also check NPD, I think they carry all the wiring harnesses.

I need a 2.36" fan spacer and bolts for a 1966 or where I can buy one.

Thanks, Gary

Is that the correct fuel pump or should it have a button top? Also, the engine paint looks too light to me, someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Have to admit it is a nice looking car. Whether it is all correct or not I don't know.
