66 GT 350 289 2 edition covering the block from carb to pan. Here is a video link to the engine running on a run stand. • 1966 GT 350 289 Build date of engine Jan 1966
Man my old man worked for Ford from 1962-1995 and I have heard him talk about the hipo 289 forever and you got a very correct and complete 289 hipo that is modified by Shelby. Also you can’t show it but it has hatchet rods and a balance tab on crank with a birnell test mark. So original and untouched. Anyone that questions that engine has no knowledge of Ford high performance engines. You even got the hipo water pump cool. It kills me how trolls pick and say they had this or that, when all they ever had was a head full of dreams and lies and empty hands.. you are knowledgeable .

Hatchet rods ? Your confused ! They had a hatchet style balance weight slid over the snout of the crank ,the rods were heavier than regular 289 rods due to the larger 3/8 bolts ,same rods were used in the 302 boss !

Regarding the serial number on the lower block above the oil pan...those are only found on California Hipo Mustangs...if your car was manufactured in Detroit the engines are not serialized to a particular car (a guy who owned two Hipo 289's, denoted by the bigger main caps, and neither block had the serial/vin number on the block). Fyi, as to Shelby's claimed 306 BHP...that is spot on. One of my Hipo engines i applied the Shelby mods and it pulled 305 on the dyno.

It is already covered in comments below, but "NOT ALL" HiPo engine blocks got vin#'s stamped on them. While, most if not possibly all 1965-1966 engines are stamped with a vin# there are many original 1967 HiPo engines that did NOT get a vin# stamped on them .... this is particualry true of the later in the year cars. Of course this fact surrounding "missing vin stamps" is documented in the two most authortaive books out there being Shelby America World Registry and "The High Performance Mustang" book by Tom Gregory. However, as well pointed out in this video there are various other clues (all of which in the cumulative) help you dial in on what you are looking at..... LOVE the HiPo's

Another thing is, the Aluminum Valve Covers had what they call "Hollow Letters" on the "COBRA" part of the cover. Inside the valve cover it says "Buddy Bar" which is the company who cast the covers.. That is what was on my 1965 GT 350 engine.

good video. I used to paint my blocks the light early Ford Blue too. One thing you might be aware, and I am speculating, but your passenger side valve cocer is like the one I owned and bought fro Ford in the early 1970s. It has the right grommet for the PVC valve. My driver side valve cover has a push oin oil cap. If you look at replacement valve covers , both valve covers are the driver side only, and uses a screw in oil cap, and a grommet that screws in the cap hole for the PVC valve. I have often speculated why they are doing this? Did the break or loose the original mold for the passenger side valve cover? Also I love your Tiger, I had an Alpine I wanted to convert, but when I owned it, I didn't have the skills to convert. But it is my most favorite car I ever owned, even with it's negaitivities like Lucas wiring, wire rims that would spin in it's axles if not tighened, bad weak rear end, plastic rear window, and the very worse, vapor lock. I always had to park it on a hill to roll start it. The Alpine was notorious for vapor lock. I like that you also have the removable hard top. I didn't know the 289 also had a five bolt similar to the 260. Everyone is putting Coyote engines in their cars, nice to see a old school engine. I follow a Aussie You Tube channel, and they are getting 600 HP out of 289s there.

You are very correct, sir that’s the one thing I regret when I made this video is to not make the date codes a little bit clearer for everyone being an older guy recording a video and trying to get all this information out is mind-boggling. Sometimes I’m gonna start doing outlines before I do videos, but the guys who know all the date codes are correct.

In those days everyone rated their engines under for insurance reasons. I do know a 'D' model engine, early '65, ran extremely good for 210 hp. That motor used the 260 timing gears & chain. With a set of 3:55 gears it would pull 5000 in 4th gear. That was past 120 & then some.
