: How can I tell if this motor is a 302 or a 289 . I got it out of a 67 cougar, but I don't think it was the org. motor. the tag on the tran. said it was for a 289 C4. Hope someone can help me figure this thing out. Thanks Willy
If you can't decifer the code plate, just pull a valve cover off and look between the valve springs, it will be stamped 302 or 289 on some factory heads. Of course someone could have put one or the other on different motors.
