Thanks for the nostalgia. Some weird engineering ideas back then. Those old Ford slugs were pretty reliable, though. Not much fun--but reliable, nonetheless. If memory serves, they took a AC PF-2 Oil Filter. Used to stock the heck out of those.

Keith:

Not much change between the two. In the standard 302, they even notched down the rod bolts from 5/16 from the standard 3/8. On the performance cars they kept the 3/8. Valves were still the tiny 1.45/1.78. No wonder the SB Chev was doing a bit of butt kicking on the Fords.

Maybe someone answered this question already but the 289 ceased production after model year l968. The 302 began production that same year. One year of overlap between the two.
