I didn't get much input when I posted the "What's It Worth?" on this, so here it is with the prices based on the limited feedback I received.
Through a stroke of good luck, I recently acquired a HP 289 motor that was in a Jeep in a local wrecking yard. When I disassembled it for inspection, I found that it has some miss-matched date codes on the parts. Here's what I have:
1. Shortblock: C40E 6015-C (5-bolt, 3L21 date) HiPo block, currently .030 over but appears that it could stay there. Has a "C5" HiPo balancer, correct crank and add-on weight BUT appears to have regular 289 connecting rods. Also has a very nice original "C30E" stick flywheel. $2000
2.Heads: C30E HP 289 heads (3J19 date on both) in good condition, Factory chromed valve covers in good driver-quality condition. $1300
3.Intake Manifold: C5AE-M (5A11 date) Factory iron 4V piece with carb spacer, good shape, no rust and nothing broken or stripped. $200
4.Distributor: C50F-E (5AA date) Factory dual point complete and in good condition. $400
5.Misc: Upper and lower single-groove pulleys, alternator brackets, C5AE-D aluminum water pump and a Motorcraft alternator with the HiPo pulley (C5AF 10A352-C) on it. $300
6. I also got a partially complete Toploader that was behind this motor. In order to adapt the trans to the Jeep transfer case, the tail housing and tail shaft were replaced with conversion parts. I got everything in front of the transfer case. All in very good condition and main case has a "K" code VIN stamped on it. $500
Will sell as priced or everything for $4000. Shipping extra.
