referring to the 289 bolting up to the 3 speed manual tranny bellhousing.......there are only four bolts holding the bellhousing to the 6 cly. engine...and there are six on the 289
do the four bolts line up with four of the six on the engine?

I'll actually have to go look...Im pretty sure there are more than four bolts holding on my bellhousing. My car was an original 3spd 6cyl and that trans is still in there, bellhousing and all behind the v8. (I was the one who did the swap, so I know the bellhousing is the same) I know it will work, but I'll have to get back to you on the bolt issue.

My bellhousing is a 6 bolt.

tranny ident......the tag on the non linkage side reads...
RAN S
013353
my shop manual doesn't have this designation...the 3.03 trannys have a HEF

Sorry, I dont have any books with codes in them... Im sure somebody else has them, or a good idea about it, so hopefully they'll post up and help you out.

You have your 6cyl bellhousing out already? Seems odd to me, though perhaps they also, like the 289, used a different bellhousing early in the Mustang production.
