It's mostly a mater of the year of mfr. in terms of emission laws. The '68 289 was rated at 195 HP and the '69 302 was rated at 205 HP an additional 10 HP from 11 more cubic inches. On the other hand any of the 289s ran better than 302s built after '71 when emission standards caused Ford to go with retarded cam timing, leaner mixtures, less ignition timing advance, and parasitic devices like EGR, AIR injection, and catalytic converters.
