For clarity, CSX20xx production cars fitted with XHP-260, HP260, or in case a 260 2V engine used the LucasŪ tachometer drive generator and gear reducer, AC Cars fabricated mounting and adjusting hardware, and large AC Cars racing cast aluminum sheave and fan part. When HP289 engines were introduced the engine installations included the corresponding Ford Fairlane with HP289 pieces. So far based on old pictures and or cars little changed since the 1960s that includes most cars that SAI did engine swaps on to remove some 260 or another and install a HP289.
