289 HIPO 5 Bolt
I am restoring an older Ford that came originally with a 289 HIPO 5 bolt. This is a Feb 1964 build car and I would like to find a period correct engine / parts to restore this car. Please let me know what you have and what price / trade you want for them.

Where are you located?

There are better forums to find parts than this one.

Re: 289 HIPO 5 Bolt
The old ford is a 64 Mercury Comet that was equipped with a 289 hp with 4 x 2bbl induction from the factory according to the ROT sheet. This was an unusual engine and that is why I came to this forum. I have been emailing Lee Holman regarding this engine, which may have come from his shop for this car.

I am looking to find what I can that is period correct for this restoration. If I can find NOS that is good but realizing that not as many 5 bolt hipos were built as 6 bolt hipos I am grateful to find what I can. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Re: 289 HIPO 5 Bolt
The HiPo Mustang Exchange is a great resource and there may be someone there that has the information that you're looking for. hipomustang.com

Also good for early GT40 engine information and part numbers, etc.

Re: 289 HIPO 5 Bolt
Are you sure it was not 2 x 4bbl?

Re: 289 HIPO 5 Bolt
Based on the ROT sheet I am certain. I do know there was a 2 4bbl intake and 3 2bbl intake available, but this car's rot sheet has SUBST 289hp 4 x 2bbl at the bottom of the ROT sheet.
