289 High Performance V8 Upgrade (http://www.mustangmonthly.com/techarticles/mump_1002_289_high_performance_v8_upgrade/index.html)Ever since it was first introduced in 1963, the 289 High-Performance V-8 has been the subject of myth, legend, and folklore. Enthusiasts get fired up over the 271hp Hi-Po due to its adrenaline-inducing sound, mechanical tappets, throaty exhaust, and high-revving personality. It was the 289 Hi-Po that earned new respect for Ford on racetracks and road courses worldwide in the 1960s thanks to talent at Shelby American, Holman & Moody, and Ford Motor Company. However, for all the hoopla over the Hi-Po engine, there's not much mystery to the power making capability of one of Ford's most legendary engines. According to Steve Karst of Karst Engineering in Mesa, Arizona, you make power and design in reliability with a Hi-Po the same way you would any other Ford V-8.inline_mediumwraptextright26579957/techarticles/mump_1002_289_high_performance_v8_upgrademump_1002 _01_o+289_high_performance_v8+engine.jpgTrue
