Hello Everyone,

I am an experienced Honda guy, so my Ford knoledge is not as strong as it should be. I am going to look at a 1967 Mustang Coupe, and it is coming with a 289 and C4, and it also has bench seats in the front (I am told that is rare). The body is a mess, but the rest appears to be salvagable (from the picture).

Question #1: Did any V8 models come with a 4 bolt hub? Or is this car a V6 model and someone swaped in a 269? I do have a serial number converter and I will check it when I see the car, but I would like to know if any v8's came with the 4 bolt.

Question #2: Is there anything in particular I should be looking at on this model...maybe something that appears to be easy but is very hard to obtain parts or is very expensive...any input would be appreciated.

Thanks for looking, and thanks in advance for posting any advise.

if it has 4 bolt wheels then it was a 6 cyl car to start with, the bench is rare. you can always drop a turbo v tech in it.........

I am done with B16's and H22's, time to move on to 269's and 351's.

Thanks for the info, that was what I suspected.

it means you need to change the entire drive train system. 4 bolt is not strong enough to hold up to a v8 and it will break. You need to get a ford 8 or 9 inch rear end for a V8. Someone did a cheap job and and put a V8 in and didnt convert it to a 5 lug system

one nice thing is that since this is a 67, you dont need to change the front spindles to put 5 bolt hubs on, as the spindles are the same for all 67 mustangs.
