Many wouldn't know a 289 from a 302. Can't tell for certain, but it appears to have an alloy intake, and the "1-arm" bellhousing.... which seems odd for this late in production. The larger 302 bellhousing could potentially be used with the smaller 289 flywheel but I suspect a starter miss-alignment issue. Not sure if the 1 arm bh's were the 289 variant..... I thought some 289 versions had a separate AC mount affair......until the 2-wing 302 version hit the production line.

Part numbers would tell the truth...... Hipo heads are distinctively marked on ends with casting numbers, intake, distributor, and carb would also have unique 1967-1968 dated castings.

I remember reading the story of this car(?) and the "spare parts" car that the owner eventually put back together to give us 402 cars?????

I'd drive it!!!!
Cheers!
