Around 1984, I rebuilt a stock Hi-Po 289 that was in a beautiful red colored Healey. The owner went to college in So Cal and during that time blew up the original 6 cyl. He had Shelby Ent. install the 289 with a Borg Warner four speed. The engine had unique exhaust manifolds, two into one on each side. I remember the owner (Raymond) telling me the folks at Shelby had to install different springs on the front of the car because the 289 was so much lighter in weight!
