289 Ford Block

[Series6]

I have a friend here in Phoenix who has a 1965 or 66 289 block, .030 over, 1 cylinder needs to be sleeved, no crank but has all main caps, has sized con rods. Make offer.

PM me if you're interested and I'll get you in touch.

That would be a six bolt 289 given the years you have listed and would not work with the stock Tiger stuff. Just a note!

There are both 5 bolt and 6 bolt 289's. The engine I am using in my '66 Tiger project is a 5 bolt 289 bored .030 over. It does work with stock Tiger parts.
I am using a stock 4 speed top loader transmission with the engine. I am using the stock clutch setup. I can use the stock generator with bracket if I choose.
I am using the stock radiator with shroud.

The 5 bolt 289 will have no problem replacing the 260. You will run into problems with switching to a 6 bolt 289 or 302 because of the transmission bolt pattern and bell housing if you use the original transmission.

no crank but has all main caps, has sized con rods.

Sized or SEIZED connecting rods?

 

[Series6]

SIZED-as in having the big end machined back to tolerence, small end rebushed. New rod bolts installed. Weight matched and balanced. OK?

Gotcha. Thanks. I just wondered since there was no crank.
