Phil, The early cars had 289 because that's what Ford had and the later cars had 302...
Now that doesn't mean this particular car doesn't have that combo. Steve (Mangusta) has a Boss 302 in his. You can bolt in just about any Ford part. Looks like you have a 2bbl carb and aftermarket valve covers on yours.
