Sounds like a typo to me. Of course, a 289 inline six does sound like an interesting concept. The Ford inline sixes are pretty sturdy machines. It's unfortunate that Ford treated them as econo-motors instead of putting the time into improvements (such as better intake/exhaust manifold designs, etc) to enhance their performance.
