Mark, although you could get a 390 2 barrel in a 67 Fairlane, it was not available in the GT or GTA model. The 390 2 barrel, and the Z code non GT 390 4 barrel were available in the Fairlane, Fairlane 500, and 500XL versions, but the GT model had the S code 390 engine. The S engine (GT) had a Holley carb and the same cam as the 428CJ, the Zcode engine had a smaller cam and Autolite carb.
As for the 289 67 Fairlane GTs, I think they were not that common, I have only seen 1, and it was a 2 barrel car.

Just something relevant that I dug up on Cougars. In 71 Mercury made 500 something GT cars but in 72 they made 311, I think, as such the 72 GT Cougar is not in the NHRA guide.
