Yes... Mustangs had 289's but they were different from the 289's used in other Fords (e.g. the Fairlane). The High-Performance 289's were made with heavy-duty components designed for the higher-RPM loads.
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.

Probably needs an overhaul.
Well, sweetheart, the main difference is the size, duh! The 289 engine from 1964 has a displacement of, surprise, 289 cubic inches, while the 4.6 liter engine from 1994 has a displacement of, you guessed it, 4.6 liters. So, one's measured in cubic inches and the other in liters, but they both do the same thing - make your wheels go vroom vroom.
A 289 engine typically refers to a Ford V8 engine with a displacement of 4.7 liters.

It is located on a tag attached under the coil mounting bolt, all 1964-1970 models had these tags. The tag included displacement, assembly plant, model year, change level, engine code (useful in identifying high performance engines) and date of production. These are easily lost or sometimes replaced with fake tags so rely on them at your own risk, there is a block identification type stamped on the block where the starter bolts up but it will not tell you the cubic inch displacement of that particular engine as several different displacement combination's were made from the same block. The 221, 260, and 289 were originally made for the Ford Fairlane and built in the Cleveland engine plant from 1962-1965. The 1964 289 casting number for all 289s was C4OE-6015-C (later blocks had an F suffix). In 1965, this number was changed to C5AE-6015-E for the 289 2V, 4V and Hi-Po. Cylinder heads have their own identification numbers. 1965 model 289 Head - Head casting number is located under the cylinder head. It must be removed to see it. The Date code location is under the valve cover.
Yes, though there is really no such thing as a 1964 Mustang. The first mustangs were produced in the spring of 1964 and were marketed as 1965 models, the early versions of these cars (prior to several changes such as the introduction of the 289 and the padded dash) will be termed 1964 1/2 models by enthusiasts.
