Bruce;
-Hmmm....I thought the first "small-block" FORD engine was the 221
CID. Very common in Comets and other "compacts" of the time.Next came
the 260 ( my folks had a '63/64 Fairlane with a 260) and then the 289.
Susequently,, in the same family I believe was the 302 & then 351
which were all within the same BASIC design configuration.

Bingo, we have a winner!!
A 289 would have been a dealer replacement for the stock motor, because Ford
built the 260 at that time specifically for Rootes.
