I have the following for sale:
289 block - .030" overbore. Good block. $100 351W - Block, crank, pistons, rods, main and rod bearing set. Block and crank have been machined and are ready for assembly. Pistons and rods not reconditioned. $250. 1987 5.0 roller cam. Factory. Make offer. 289 race cam. Exact specs unknown, but lift is close to .700" - make offer.
289 is just the block, right?
Correct. I "may" have the crank also. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to use it in my new build or not. If not, then it will be available also. I do have a set of 5.0 factory pistons and rods, cam, and heads that I could also sell, along with some other less major parts. What are you looking for?
You seem to have a lot of Mustang stuff for sale lately....is that 2+2 going away?
No, at least not right now. I've been making a lot of changes to it, and between the parts I took off and all the parts I collected over time and then changed my mind about, I have a lot of stuff to get rid of. Once I have the car the way I want it, I'll make a decision if I like it enough to keep it or not.

Of course, if you are selling your 911 I may have to reconsider....

Color me watching with interest. I've been looking for a 289 for a while.

I think I'm done with Mustangs, but I still like to keep track of them.
The 911 may eventually get traded for something, but I haven't decided what yet.

So what are you waiting for? Are you only interested if it has the crank with it?

I'd need the crank (really, it's the only thing defining it as a 289) and a little time, as this is a bad time for me cash-wise. Gotta tithe to the State for tags.
Oh, shoot - is it a 5-bolt or 6-bolt bellhousing?
In reply to Knurled:
It's a 6 bolt. And the block is in fact different than a 302. The cylinder bores are significantly shorter than a 302, so it's not just the crank. But I understand why you said that, since it's the stroke that makes it 289 cu in instead of 302 cu in.

Not according to someone who's measured... from the 5-bolt 289s to the 5.0 blocks, they all measure the same length. (I know, I know, Ford says it's different, they have a drawing and everything) He also put together a 366ci stroker 289, so I guess it's immaterial when you're talking about a measly 1/8" of stroke difference
6-bolt good. I'll keep you posted but don't fret if another buyer comes along. Lots of irons in the fire, just seeing what heats up first, you know?
In reply to Knurled:
Tell that to the 289 and 302 I have sitting next to each other in my shop. The 289 bores are about 3/16" shorter than the 302/5.0.
The difference in stroke between a 289 and 347/366 isn't an 1/8 inch either. A stock 289 has a stroke of 2.87". A 302 is 3.00. A 331 is 3.25. A 347 is 3.400. so the difference between a 289 stroke and a 347 stroke is over 1/2". A 366 requires an aftermarket block to do right, like the one Dart has. It uses a 4.125 bore x 3.400 stroke. Note that this is a huge overbore with the same marginal rod ratio as a 347. The maximum safe overbore on a 289 is .030-.060". A 366 in a 289 is a time bomb.
Okay, the 289 is available with the crankshaft, although it will need machined. I'd like $125 for the block and crank.
C'mon, someone needs one of these engines for a challenge car, right?? I also have a 350 Chevy that's disassembled. Make me an offer and any of them - I want them out of my shop!
Make me an offer!!
