simple neither Ford only made the winsor and Cleveland in a 351 the winsor is a small block and the Cleveland is a big block
The Windsor is a small block, basically an enlarged 289. The Cleveland is a big block, more high performance. You can tell the difference from the outside by looking at the valve cover. The Cleveland has 8 bolts securing it down * the Windsor has 5. Also the thermostat cover bolts to the block on a Cleveland and to the intake on a Windsor. Neil
Ford didn't produce a 289 Windsor. EDIT: Actually.... The Windsor is the Ford small block V8 engine family, so yeah they actually did produce a 289 Windsor. People usually don't refer to it as a Windsor though since there wasn't an alternate 289 ci displacement engine, such as with the 351 (Cleveland and Modified, which are big blocks). Windsor just designates the Ford family of small blocks. And sorry, I know all that is irrelevant to your question. I just wanted to correct misinformation. The plug gap for a 289 is .034

early for 289 302 windsor firing order was changed to the later 351 windsor firing order to smooth out the firing of cylinders. The early 289 firing order made cams sound lumpy and could cause extra stress on crankshafts when engines were used in motorsport at high rpm
A 390cid engine has 6.4 liters.
1965 was the first year of the 289 V8 in any Falcon. Previously it had the 260 V8.
The 1964½ Ford Mustang did not have a 289, it had the 260 (which was rated at 164 hp). If your car has a 289 it is either a 1965 or does not have the original engine. A good way to tell a 1964½ from a 1965 is whether it has a metal dashboard or a padded dash.
A 289 bored .030 over.
