Just a quick note to get started.... I bought my 1st mustang in 1975, a '66 coupe 289 2BBL C4 auto, rusty but trusty w/60,000 well cared miles from my g/f's dad for $75.00! Then, a year later bought an arizona body, all dissassembled, no motor or trans, interior rough but NO Rust for $150.00. Second car was a six w/4 lug wheels... I stripped both cars to the ground, built the az body with the V8 drive train, (5 Lug) added headers (Doug Thorley) and header mufflers and had pipes made. I adde an offy dual plane 360 intake and a carter AVS 600. Then, I had the body painted metallic blue, bought cragers and made a nice ride out of it. I still drive it today!!! It has been my "Signature Ride" for 34 years! Since then the engine was refreshed in '89 and numerous transmissions till I pulled the 2.79 rear end and replaced it with a 3.50 from a '65 gt. Engine was built in '89 10.5 pistons plus a head shave = 11.0:1 w/Hooker competition headers... I'm well respected in the hood! (When I can find the fuel to make it run right)
I am currently beginning to restore a '91 5.0 GT which I bought for my kid 10 yrs ago... Long story but it has been sitting since '05. Just got it road worthy, an AOD w/ OD gone and 3rd gear slips... I found a T5 tranny with all the stuff to do the conversion at a local junkyard. I bought a new "King Cobra" clutch Kit from American Muscle and I can't tell you how much I love those guys! I recently got it back on the road and it basically needs everytihing! Anyway, I have a lot of Q's about the fox body series and a lot of answers about the '64 - '66 era stangs! I will upload pics as soon as I figure out how to do it here.
