Hi Hipo Fans,
First a huge THANK YOU to Dan for sharing a wealth of knowledge....Does anyone know how many engines were produced in 63-67 time frame ?
Regards R.R.

Dan, thank you. That confirms what I suspected would be included in this type of assembly.

Is all of your information going to be in a book for future reference when you are no longer around?

Dan, I guess I wasn't very clear in my question. Let me restate: what was included in the cylinder block assembly? I would assume that would be the block, main caps, and main cap bolts.
I have to say that I am blown away by the depth of your knowledge regarding this subject. All of your comments are very illuminating. Thanks for sharing your information and I hope to hear more from your 200+ pages of notes.

Dan, when you say engine assembly date, what is included in that assembly? Would that be the block, main caps, and main cap bolts or would that be the short block? Thanks.

OK here is the question. I bought a 289 HIPO back in the early 80's that was stated to be out of a 63 Cobra, the motor was complete with Webbers and HIPO heads so I bought it. I was not as familiar with the differences on the HIPO and the standard 289 at that time. I took the guys word for it. Over the years I sold the Webbers and the HIPO heads but kept the short block. Now here is the question. The block has the HIPO crank,rods and pistons but the main caps are not the big ones. The block is a April 63 build date and a number stamped on the block on the left bank tab is 3D 196. Did the early HIPO blocks have the bigger main caps? Is this just a standard 289 block with HIPO parts inside? Thanks

Very helpful information, thanks.
I've seen the Cobra 4-2v intake without the two raised cast bosses for linkage. Is this typical ? Are there different versions?

Dan, are you saying a 289 Cobra should have an intake with the PCV port?
Thanks,
