I'm sorry that I can't tell you but I know the engine and think that when I was a young man I thought that it was a super motor. Ford had the 289 and GM had a 283. Some people think that the first mustang that came out with a V8 think that it was a 289, but that is incorrect it was a 265. Another little known fact was that the original Mustang 64 1/2 came out with a bench seat, sorry I didn't have your answer but it is neat to know stuff.
Note; Schizoph has said that it is about a 296, if you looked around a little you could find a 296 Ford engine, (57 Ford) but if you did I would advice you to change out the cam as the one from the factory was hollow and wouldn't hold up under extreme use, but if you were going to the trouble to search for a 296 why not go for a 312 Ford engine it was also called a, "Police Interceptor," and it would rock
Additional note; It is a 260 and not a 265 as I have written up above. this was pointed out by a cert. mech. of 36 years but the car that he said had buckets is only a part truth as the buckets were an option and the bench was the standard, how ever I am sure that there were more with bucket seats than with the bench. this was during Viet Nam and I was to busy to pay much attention to the car at that time. He mentioned that it (260) came out in the Mustangs and Fairlanes but failed to mention it was also available in the Falcon and the Comet

i own a shop ,and your actual bore came out to be almost a 302 bore on this,and ford didn't have a 265 engine,they have a 260 engine,and it came out in the early mustangs and old fair lanes also,it was a very short stroke engine,not a lot of horse power could be produced from it,if this one is bored 60 over you really don't have much room left to work with on it,but it should run pretty good as for the actual bore on it I'm not sure,but Chevy had the 265 engine,it actually came out in the 55 Chevy's when they first came out and another well known fact was only a few mustangs actually came out with a bench seat in them,most of them had bucket seats in them also,and the first one gas a 260 with a 3 speed manual transmission and in 65 they offered the 289 with a 4 barrel carb,and a 4 speed transmission,well known mustang fact there,because i used to own one of them a few years ago,good luck,i hope this helps.

What is the displacement of the cylinders before boring? Has the block been bored before? What is the actual displacement of the block. 289 can be an estimate of the actual displacement not necessarily the actual cubic inches. Why don't you know this?

about 296. want to be sure? measure your bore & stroke, then use this formula: bore x bore x stroke x 1/4 Pi (.7854) x number of cylinders. careful: your cylinder walls are getting thin & soft bored that far. I'm uncomfortable with anything past .030"

its a FORD.... wasnt worth boring out in the first place, but you will need the bore size and stroke to figure it out.
