I haven't a clue. If it were mine, I'd contact Lee Iacocca and ask him.
The 289 was introduced in September 1962 for the 1963 models, but in August 1964, changes were made.
The aluminum waterpump was replaced by a cast iron waterpump, and the block is different.
Early 289's (221/260's) have 5 flywheel housing mounting holes. Late 289's have 6.
The changes occured circa August 23, 1964.
