Hello Paul,

I was looking at your request for a 4L block.  I checked my extra motors and the closest I have is 4K23 stamped on the front pad.  This is a complete motor, was rebuilt 20 years ago, however has been sitting in a climate controlled garage.  Not sure what the bore is. San Jose VIN stamped.  Includes Hipo block VIN Stamped,  heads, rods, crank, damper, distributor, hipo exhaust manifolds, intake manifold, re-pop hipo fan, timing chain counterweight. Everything is date coded to the block.  This was not a pieced together motor. I am looking for one 5D head or a set.  Looking for 1965 hipo carburetor.  Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Tim

Hello,

I sent Damper Doctor two hipo balancers last month.  Cost was $180 each.  Turn around time was about a week.  Good experience.

Thanks,

Hello,

Looking for 289 Hipo heads dated around May to June of 1965.  Would prefer non ported or non polished heads.   

Thanks for looking.

There is an original fan shroud on craigslist
This is not mine, just passing along information. I tried buying the fan shroud without the radiator, however, the gentlemen would not separate.

Thank you for this information.  Is there color break down between GT-350's and GT-500's?

Thanks,

Sorry I have a carburetor for an automatic transmission.

Are you looking for a manual or automatic transmission 289 hipo carburetor?

Hello,

Two possible theory's on why the outer edge of the drum is machined.

1.  During the casting process there could have been excess cast material left on the drum, and to clean off the excess material it would be simple operation to face off the outer edge.  Later on maybe Ford repaired or changed the mold casting design to repair the defect and eliminate the secondary operation.  Maybe different casting plants had different cast molds.
2.   There could have been a secondary operation where they needed to grab the drum from the outside diameter and do a turning operation.  I think this is unlikely, you would chuck up the part from the center diameter of the drum and then perform the turning operation to clean up  the inside diameter.  I cant think of a reason why you would need to mount the drum from the outside diameter and perform a turning operation.

Just a theory.

Thanks,

Tim

Hello,

I looked at the pictures and in my opinion they are different from my original 289 hipo fans.
1. There should be a stamped Fomoco script on the fan blades.
2. The aluminum blade geometry is different, where the blade attaches to the outer most rivets the blade is flared up on my original fan vs straight in the ebay add.  You can look at images on google search and compare.
3.  The stamping looks off in my opinion.
The last fan I purchased was $600. 
Anyway good luck on your search.
