Back-up motor for my 1965 Triumph TR4 w/Turbo-Action full manual C4, 3,500 RPM converter (have a 5,500 RPM ATI converter too) & 9" rear w/Detroit Locker and Modified Sunbeam Tiger Thunderbird headers.

Motor dynamically balanced crankshaft counterweights. So any pre-1982 28" oz. flywheel manual or automatic should be fine.

The vintage race guys said I should sell this motor to a collector as it is original HIPO 289 and not overbored

Ya, I remember a 289 that we painted yellow. We put it in a 1956 F100 Custom Cab. Then my brother dropped a wrench down the distributor hole. By the time we got done with the whole job it was half yellow and half grease. Ah, to be young (and stupid) again!

[jjtr4]

Dropped distributor shafts before too, no fun!!!

Best, jjtr4

Yellow easy to work on under lights at track!

@cdoublejj Ford themselves actually condense it down to HiPo quite commonly. You are right, it is short-hand for High Power/High Performance, but yeah, for some reason that's what it gets called.

[killacounty661]

damn how much horse power did you get?

[coolfixit]

well wickedlycold if it had hei did ford jump to the future and steal a distributor from chevrolet??is this even possible??if you don't know why even bother??

[cdoublejj]

isn't it HI PO ans in high performance?

[buffalo2396]

What a waste of time with no Hp or Torque numbers stated !!!

[gt5002x4]

They didnt have a HEI dist!

Thx god for that!

They had dual points.

[JJSnell]

WickedlyCold is correct on some things. The 289 also had a Brinnel tested stronger crankshaft, solidlifter cam set up with different specs than 289(Stock). Different 4100 carb, and different ex manifolds. The diff between stock and 289HiPo was actually 71HP, Stock having 200HP, the 289-4v having 225HP and the 289-4vHiPo 271HP. Shelby swapped carbs, intakes and headers to give 307HP to his cars.

[WickedlyCold]

hipo has a bunch of different stuff, like valve spring seats, HEI distributor (stock 289 uses points), wider harmonic balancer, dual point ignition, stuff like that.

there was a 50HP difference between the hipo 289 and stock 289.

[slyclash]

whats the diffrance between

a regular stock 289 and a hipo

289
