![]() The HiPo engine block simply had wider main bearing caps that made it different. There are rumors that Ford produced a 289 HiPo engine block but this has been proven to be only hearsay. For performance enthusiast, Ford offered the “HiPo” K code 289 that had higher compression, solid lifters, high-flow manifolds and many other performance modifications that put the HiPo at 271 horsepower. The 289 was offered in three different options when first introduced starting with a 2 barrel carb version that produced 195 horsepower as well as a 4 barrel carb version that produced 210 horsepower. It was also used in the Ford Falcon and some Galaxy 500 models. (Unless you want to embarrass yourself by admitting you wanted a 200 Inline 6.). The 289 was the most famous and highly desire engine used in the popular Ford Mustang built before 1968. Ford first introduced the 289 V8 engine in 1963 and it was the third engine to appear in the popular Windsor line.
