The Ford rough castings of the standard 289 and 289 Hipo were the same with the same casting part number. The blocks that became HiPo's were then machined different for the larger four bolt main caps

My understanding is that the K engines used two-bolt main caps, though their main caps were not the same as the regular 289's. I think the Boss 302 was the first small block Ford to use four-bolt mai

It appears that I miss spoke when I described the Hipo 289 block as having four bolt main bearing caps. I should have said the following. The Ford rough castings of the standard 289 and 289 Hipo were

Which then leads one to ask..., how does one identify a HiPo 289 crank? I vaguely recall someone mentioning a pink (or purple) strip painted on the crank, but 45 years later is it still there (or fa

Even if the crank has the right mark(s) and the crank passes a second Brinell test, the first mark(s) may have been faked. You may still have a crank from a regular 289 that would have passed the tes

Bob Mannel states in his book that the HiPo cranks have an orange paint dap. Some cranks have the Brinell harness stamped into the crank; 42 is around normal for standard 289 crank, 65 is a high hard

Thanks John. Seems a HiPo crank and an Alger potentially have something in common. The 5 bolt 289 in my Tiger was "purported" to have been a HiPo. However, the balancer and the heads tell a different

there was a first-run K engine (Number 28) installed in the Shelby prototype after it returned from England. The Orange mark, and a few other colors, were in the crankcase. Never noticed a "K" stamp
