Hello all,

Just wanted to introduce myself a little. I recently acquired a '65 Mustang coupe with the 200ci. I know very little about them and would like to learn as much as I can.

I need some advice on what I should do w/ the engine and transmission.

It has the stock 3 speed right now and I am looking to upgrade that but keeping the 200ci. What would be most cost effective way to get this done?

As for the engine, I have come across www.cliffordperformance.com and that looks like a great place to start with getting some more HP out of the 200. Any suggestions on where I can start there?

I'm trying to keep costs as low as possible as I am saving for my wedding in October.. but still dying to start driving the stang as soon as possible.

Thanks!

PM another classic guy here, rbohm. He has a six, and is doing some cool stuff with it, including fuel injection, and more. He knows of a forum specifically for 6-Bangers as well.

if you want to keep your six and get some serious performance out it try this site. http://www.ausfordparts.com/
the parts are going to be a little pricey but how many people run an I6 with dohc?
