Did the 64 or 65 Fairlane or Torino (if available then, not sure about the Torino) ever come out with a 289 K-code/Hipo?------------------

Yes John.
Fairlane was the first car to get the 289 Hipo.
63, 64, and 65 Fairlanes were available with 289/271 Hipo option.------------------

The only year the Falcon shared the Torino body is in 1970. They made a 70 1/2 Falcon to tie over until the 71 Maverick.

The FALCON started sharing the FAIRLANE platform in 1966. It was just skinned differently.The 70 1/2 FALCON was a base model FAIRLANE as FORD dropped the origional FALCON in the mid-1970 model run with the introduction of the MAVERICK.

It depended on the equipment. They were as fast as 14's with the 428 CJ,and probably in the 17-18's with a 6 cylinder.
