I tried the search and came up with skinny's posts on his 61's. But are all Cloverleaf engines 289's or just factory replacements ?
I just brought home the 61 2Dr sedan that I bought yesterday from Bob Peterson. While unloading the car I went to check the exhaust heat riser for free movement. I was surprised to see an oil filter and cup style core plugs underneath. It has a full oil flow engine. After cleaning the engine number pad with a wire brush that I thought was blank. I found a Cloverleaf. This was a surprise because valve covers for it are 61 Orange & the oil fill pipe has a part of the filter mount on it. I removed a spark plug and tried to look for a dished piston with no luck.
