5S003 Under Restoration    (Updated: 1/27/14)


Engine


4H28, August 28, 1964 dated 289 HiPo standard bore block, provides the basis for the motor being rebuilt by Dave Bliss, a well respected Ford engine expert in the Seattle area. All the core engine pieces for 5S003 are dated August 1964, some of the more peripheral, external pieces are dated September 1964.

Engine


Standard/standard HiPo crank out of a low mileage hipo 289 will be the epicenter of the strength of the motor in 5S003
