Billy is right on the HP. I ran one back in the 70's. The 289's did not come with the 9" rear end either, so you will have to change the complete rear axle assembly.
You could alway put a 390, 428, 427, or a 240(just happen to have a set of clifford hedders for a 67 full size ford with the 240)been sittin on them for 36 years. My wife says i'm a hoarder.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
