OK here is the question. I bought a 289 HIPO back in the early 80's that was stated to be out of a 63 Cobra, the motor was complete with Webbers and HIPO heads so I bought it. I was not as familiar with the differences on the HIPO and the standard 289 at that time. I took the guys word for it. Over the years I sold the Webbers and the HIPO heads but kept the short block. Now here is the question. The block has the HIPO crank,rods and pistons but the main caps are not the big ones. The block is a April 63 build date and a number stamped on the block on the left bank tab is 3D 196. Did the early HIPO blocks have the bigger main caps? Is this just a standard 289 block with HIPO parts inside? Thanks
I am still working on 2380 and slowly gathering parts,any suggestions on the correct front suspension parts?
