Engine ID

Guest

I'm looking for information on orginal engine ID. I have finished the rebuild on the engine that I believe to be orginal but the machinest doesn't seem to agree with me. My Goose is a 1969 8MA514 one of the early ones, Euro car. It's my understanding that the Euro cars had the 289 whereas the US cars came with the 302. This is why I felt this to be the correct engine for the car, and as I was told by the previous owner. The machinest checked the serial numbers on the block and heads and came back as a 1965 Cobra 289. Is it possible that this would be one of the engines that was purchased from Shelby before thier conflict. Is there any way to research this to make sure? Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks
Rich
