Very similar...but no. The 289 fenders have a higher crown and the radiator opening on a 289 car is shaped like the letter "D" while the 427 opening is oval.

billet brake cans
Hello David, I called your shop and paid for one set of the cans. I was able to find a set of shocks for our original 289, Acton Custom had a set in stock.
thanks very much, karl

More parts! More parts!
I wouldn't mind a holiday gift for myself.
And you should start a Kirkham gym thread. I'd read it. And I'm always happy to give you my opinion.  |

More 289 stuff.
SOLD
This is a hood from one of our 289 FIA cars. Retail $1000. Today--$600. Shipping will be $100. This hood is brand new. It has not yet been straightened or filed--just welded.

For those of you who have bought wrecked 427 cars...
This is the entire front clip to one of our 427 cars. The clip is not yet wired. (I did a YouTube on that some time ago for the adventurous.)
Retail on a front clip is $10,000. I'll let this one go for $6,000 
This will have to be shipped truck freight. It will cost $200 to crate it up and at least $500 to ship it.

I don't need anything, but I sure have enjoyed following the post.
I am surprised that in your shop you haven't bent some 1" pipe and made some rings. Polish the upper half and tape the lower have for a semi Kirkham feel. ...maybe you're digging looking for the 1" pipe...

Darren,
We got your car out a couple of days ago. It is now on a roll-around cart. We will be starting on it shortly. It is going to be a killer car. How about a billet intake for your motor 
Did I ever post the billet valve covers we did for the SOHC?

I'll post when I get to the shop tomorrow--unless I HAVE to make it to the gym today, you know, just to check on it
What are you using for an intake manifold? I think we should billet one.

289 gas pedal assembly. (They are quite a bit different than the 427 throttle pedal assembly). These are hard to make as we billet them to look like the original casting. They retail for $350. I'll let 5 of them go at 1/2 price. Only 5. 1 assembly per customer only. Place your orders now. I'll make a run tomorrow and the next day. (If we have an open machine).

Thanksgiving was great! I hope you and your family are doing well too.
The only "scratch and dent" tops we have are an original 289 and an original 427 top...

I touched a real 289 top once. Col Pearson is out this way and
he dropped off one a while back. We were going to splash it, but
I couldn't bring myself to remove the orig herring bone head liner
and vinyl on the top. I gave it back.
I'll give you a call tomorrow.

David you seem to be in quite a giving mood and I would like to say thank you... My wife might choose different words.
Seriously, the Cobra bug has been dormant for awhile and all this excitement might very well get me back to working on the 289.
That being said, I will do a 289 pedal assembly also... 
I had this same feeling in my belly right after our Thanksgiving meal.

Chuck,
Were you referring to a 289 Hard top? I was referring to soft tops. We have an original 289 soft top and an original 427 soft top.
We also have a hard top here. I think it is for a 427. They are slightly different than the 289 hard top. Are you looking for a 289 FIA hard top?

I'll drop the 427 hard top we have on a 289 FIA car and see how well it fits. I'll let you know tomorrow.
