    Only if it is a Hipo K code. heads and block, crank and rods are same.  Pistons might have different dish volume.  Cam probably had a different part number but virtually the same as far as performance goes, if the WAS any difference.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    This is my understanding of it...
    C code = 289 2v = 190hp
    A code = 289 4v = 225hp (higher compression and 4v carb)
    K code = 289 hipo = 271hp (same as A code but with a solid lifter cam, dual point distributor and better exhaust manifolds)
    I forget the code for the Shelby 289 but it was around 305hp (same as K code but with a slightly larger carb, aluminum intake manifold, and tri-y headers)

    "A code = 289 4v = 225hp (higher compression and 4v carb"

    Michael has it correct. There was about a 1/2 point higher compression over the 2v.  In addition to the above, the 4V had a different cam than the 2V.

    My '65 vert is a C code. I have a reground version of the 4v cam awaiting installation along with my Autolite 4100.
