I have the original 260 motor from my comet. It to is possibly scrap. Been toen apart and all rusted up from sitting In the garage for almost 40 years same thing with the heads. If this 289 is toast, then that will be the next choice. For now anyway.
I've been on the lookout for a date coded engine for my car since I bought it. Engine I have to pick up is C3AE. Haven't checked the bore or date stamp to verify. Should be 289 for Galaxie, I believe. I would love to do another engine build, if circumstances allow. At least have something to back up what I already have, if need be.
