[Tigers] 289 heads

[Thomas Witt]

Ron,

  Off hand would you know if the 289 heads with the smaller valves came 
exclusive with the 5 bolt 289? That is what a previous owner transplanted 
into my Tiger.  My Tiger seems to be a hodge-podge of someone's spare parts 
.  Thus, while I could have anything on that motor, curiosity has me 
wondering (though I do recollect with fuzzy-ness something designating my 
heads as 1966 vintage).

So, until I can remove all the stuff my wife and kids have piled on the car, 
find a place to place the un-hinged hood and wrangle the not so easy to 
remove aluminum "Powered By Ford" valve cover ..... .

Dave,
 My understanding was that the Ford small block heads in general never 
flowed very well. It is just a guess, but unless the compression changes, 
the larger ports and valves of the 289 likely make little different to 
remove low and mid range torque on a 260.
