Tech Torque Pre 1973 / Last of the 289W
« Last post by Woz on April 12, 2024, 09:50:16 am »Hi guys,
Does anyone know what month in 1968 they changed the 289 to 302 Windsor?
My 68 289 has the engine stamp C8AE6015B which means i have a 302 block with 289 stroke and heads,
they ran out of 289 blocks and started using 302
the date code for my 289 is 8F13 meaning it was made 13 June 1968, the date code for the car is 16 July 1968,
the body has the chrome surround rear reflectors, some 68s have the flush mount type, guessing they are the later models,
Does anyone have a 289 built after 13 June 1968?
thanks
Woz

Good thinking on CJ I didn't think of that. I'll give it a try, but I find their communication a bit hit and miss
Appreciate the help.

Looks like the Part Number (FD1477-W) for those blinds are the same across a number of platforms - Falcons, Mustangs, etc.

Perhaps worth sending an email enquiry to CJ Pony or a similar company to see what is available specifically for a 67 Mustang.
Good luck and please keep us updated on the outcome.
