I'm pretty certain toploaders were never fitted to original cars - someone else will confirm this. No 289s were built with 6-bolt blocks apart from a very small batch of automatics - all manual cars had the 5-bolt block.
For using toploaders in 289s, it is not easy to find the right combination of parts. David Kee advertises a special tailshaft housing which works well, but I have been unable to contact him to place an order. Stock Sunbeam Tiger parts will work well, and I'm sure there are other parts that will work.
