According to 'Rebuilding the Small Block Ford' and other
books, for changed the casting molds for the 289's.  If you
try boring a 260 much more the .030 over the adds are very
great, you will break through the water jacket.  If you are
successfull if boring, the odds are that the car will overheat
easily.

The list is correct.  Get a 302 or last 289.  Find a matching
6 bolt bellhousing and clutch slave cylinder.  Many on the
list have down this successfully.
