Rebuild HiPo 289 using M-6010-B50 Sportsman block
I have had my '67 HiPo 289 engine rebuilt stock using as many original parts as possible. When the engine was stripped, the block was found to have cracks down 3 adjacent bores, so I had sleeves (liners) fitted (I wanted to keep the engine original to the car - a GT350).
Unfortunately, after the engine was built and installed in the car, the liners were found to leak! I now want to transfer all the engine parts (heads, cam, crank, etc etc) a new block, and I understand that the Ford Sportsman block M-6010-B50 is a good replacement. Can anyone point me to firm confirmation that ALL my HiPo parts will transfer straight into this block? I read that this block is good for late model rebuilds, but is it compatible with '67 HiPo parts? I'm really stuck for good advice on this here in England, so any advise would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
