My book list's them as having 63 cc chambers.This is for the C8OE-D, L, & M heads.If it's got C7OE heads, then they'd be 54 cc.

Yep. But it was only available with a 2V in 68.

63cc. At least MY 68' C Code 289 heads were.

I didn't actually measure, but the chambers on my 289 heads looked bigger than the chambers on my AFR's (which are 61cc).

I think there was an F code in '68 that was a 4 barrel 289.

Nope, F code in 68 is a 302-2V. 68 289-2V only is a C code.
