A Chap here in Aus says he has a genuine 65 289 that has HiPo numbers:
Ford Part # C5AE-6015-E Cast Date 4L12 (12th November 1964)
This is a 6 Bolt 289 Block with the same casting number as a Hi Po 289 Motor - this was just a 2v Motor but does have the 289 Dot Heads which are usually found on the A Code 4 Barrel Motors - Comes with a Correct 1965 Water pump not shown in Photo.
I found this engine in a Mint 1965 Mercury Comet with only 89,000 miles in the
So whats the thoughts, could this be a genuine Hi Po ?
Merry Christmas Steven
