1961 FORD 4X4

[CM BEHOUNEK]

MY FORD HAD THE 289 OUT OF IT YEARS AGO AND THEY PUT A 233.... I THINK BACK INTO IT. I FOUND A 289 TO PUT BACK INTO IT, I BELIEVE IT IS THE OLDER STYLE 289? IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? FOR A 4 SPEED MANUAL WHAT WILL IT TAKE BASICLY TO SWAP MOTORS? WILL IT BOLT RIGHT ON?

it should be a 292 Y block v8 or a 223 I block six cylinder if stock.. 289 is not stock for a 1961 pickup..

yes ford did make a 289... yes you can put a 289 in your truck...maybe somebody swapped in a 289, but it didn't come from the factory with one.. basically the 289 is the same as a 302 except the stroke is shorter...
