The Engine
Launched in 1963 and also known as the “Challenger V8”, the 289 cu in Ford small block was an immensely successful engine, with around three and a half million units manufactured in total.
This is the 6 bolt bell-housing model.
This is the 6 bolt bell-housing model.
Besides some visual enhancements, courtesy of a chromed dipstick, alternator and rocker covers this example is anything but standard, thanks to the fitment of numerous aftermarket performance parts which include:
- High-power coil and HT leads
- Aluminium billet pulleys
- New water pump and outlet
- High-power electronic distributor
- Edelbrock four-pot carburettor on a performance 289 manifold
The vendor acquired the engine to fit to a 1980 Mustang, but circumstances changed and the V8 was never used. We’re also informed that it hasn’t been run for the past two years, since the installation of the aforementioned performance upgrades. It also comes with a new gasket set for the inlet manifold and cylinder head.
For those seeking a modified Ford small block to power their next project, this is a great option as it saves a lot of hard work.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
