289 Hipo Value

(1/3) > >>

ceswert:
I am looking at a 289 Hipo short block, casting# C5AE6015-E , K code vin, that came out of a 66 Mustang GT fastback. Assuming the block is in OK condition but needs to be restored what would you consider a fair value to be? I know this question is hard to answer and I should do my own research but I thought I'd put it out there anyway. Appreciated all of the help.

CharlesTurner:
Short block, meaning block with rotating assembly and cylinder heads?  Probably easier to price as individual parts...

K-heads: $500-1500/pr
K main caps: $500-800
K crank : $250-500
K rods: $250-500
K timing parts: $100
K harmonic balancer: $350-600

Bare block with original K code VIN: $500 or maybe $1k if from a San Jose fastback

So, figure range of $2-5k

jwc66k:
What's the VIN? You can XXX out the last three numbers if necessary. If it's complete, I would like to cross post the VIN on the HiPo forum.

ceswert:
VIN#6F09K2111, 88 or 99-hard to see the last two digits.

ceswert:
Thanks. No heads. So restoring the short block would add another $2-3m?
