    gas mileage

    Its hard to say. Why don't you fill up compeletly, record the milage, then record how much it takes to fill it up all the way? Anyway, my guess would be between 10-15mpg from what you said. If thats true its not that good, but fairly common.

    Horsepower gains

    You'd be better off getting a good set of aftermarket windsor heads. cleveland heads were good for their day but mordern is better and you dont have to adapt them. Would be a little different though.

    New Radiator for my 67 200cu?

    65-66' 200's came with 3 row radiators (optional). I have a V8 radiator in my I-6 powered 67 (kinda close fit but it works). They sell different length spacers if needed.

    Does anyone know if these are 4 lug?

    I agree, it sorta looks more like 4 lugs to me.

    65-68 200cu Mustang... reliable.. daily driver?

    Points are located inside the distributer. Controls the spark more or less. Inside this distributor is a spring loaded contact switch (points) riding on a revolving cam. The points open and close to fire the coil which produces the spark. Inside the distributor the rotor well...... ummm...

    65-68 200cu Mustang... reliable.. daily driver?

    You should be able to get a VERY good I6 (already restored) for that money. Given what you want out of it, I disagree with 65fastback2+2. The I6 makes a better daily driver in my opinion, better milage, easier access to everything under the hood, and generally smoother. I6 or V8: Classic...

    Can I get 5 lug drum brakes?

    To the best of my knowledge, swapping the whole rearend is the only way to get five lugs back there. Along with Pakrat's thinking: you could sell the front five lugs and then buy 4 lug disc brakes for the front (they make them for 65-66). A stock 6cylinders (drums) stopping distance is just a...

    Pedal Car for Son?

    I just went to the auto fair down at Lowes motor speedway. I saw one, It was nice, $400. Kinda wish I could have afforded to buy it. You might be able to find them at shows or swap meets.

    please explain to me the big deal about a six cylinder to larger engine swap?

    Most small blocks (without EFI) that I've seen and driven get mid to high teens, of course there are some exceptions. I get about 23-25mpg out of my 6. A difference of just say 5-7mpg is a lot if you dive often or are on a buget. I'm hoping to get 30mpg out of my I6 once everything is done...

    yea, I agree. Is the body really bad or something?

    please explain to me the big deal about a six cylinder to larger engine swap?

    Unless you go with efi its a pretty big diffence between an even a stock v8 and nicely built 6 in the case of milage. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying that a conversion isn't a great way to go.... just that, depending on exactly what power level the owner wants to acheive, its not the...

    please explain to me the big deal about a six cylinder to larger engine swap?

    Clifford is over priced, I installed the holley/weber with adaptor, linkage and and air cleaner for under 100 by going to other sources. ford six performance parts is cheaper for most thinks and has better service imo.

    please explain to me the big deal about a six cylinder to larger engine swap?

    Depends on how far you go with a 6 build up. Weight is a big factor in the equation not just speed. The more mass the car has the harder it is to stop, its simple physics. Two cars traveling at the same speed, the heaver one requires more stopping distance (or better brakes). I want to add...

    please explain to me the big deal about a six cylinder to larger engine swap?

    sure a modified v8 is faster than a modified I6....... but not necessarly better. Personally, I like the 200 for its toughness, smoothness, and great gas milage (for a classic car anyway). Yep, the intake is bad but thats why people are importing the aussie heads, or go with a triple carb set...

    just so you know, 6cylinders don't have to be plain jane :D Now look at that and then look at a typical v8 with chrome valve covers.

    6 cyl 65-69 Mustang, how fast can I make it?

    I paid a little over $2000 for mine (a little rust and needed a paint job), so with any luck you can do similar. Allcarfan is right, thats very fast to be driving a classic car which lacks modern safety stuff. Top speed of stock I6 is listed as 90mph, more like a hundred actually. The light...

    6 cyl 65-69 Mustang, how fast can I make it?

    If you can get a good deal on the transmission, expect a little over $1000. Thats my next step.
