Question 289 HiPo 5-bolt

I am seeking information from Cobra owners with original 5-bolt 289 HiPo engines (1963-64). As author of "Mustang & Ford Small Block V8s, 1962-1969" and as keeper of the Fairlane K-code Registry, I have discovered that the 5-bolt 289 HiPo engines were serialized in the Fairlanes. Each authentic 289 HiPo carries a sequential number. I have tracked 16 numbers in Fairlanes. I believe that the Cobra 289 HiPos also carry this number. I am plotting these sequential numbers against the engine assembly dates. If you have one of these engines, I would like to hear from you.
