lol, looks like a Joe Dirt car!!

In my opinion..I would'nt spend a dime on that car.

If you restore it then sell it for a profit I can see why your interested but if not you can put the money on a better looking stang.

Anyways good luck!!

I used to have a 72 grande and I put a 351c in place of the 302.
you hav a 351c at least not a windsor.
you can tell by the 8bolts like the fordman said , but the easiest way is this:
on the cleveland motors, the thermostat inlet point straight up.
on the windsor the thermostat inlet comes out at you at a 45 deg angle.

There was only 90 ever made. It's a Q car. This car is a genuine piece of history. I agree that basicly everything has gone to **** sitting, it's almost like you went into a store in 72' and bought the best of everything and parked it for 30 years. I do a have a biased opinion though .
We started it up. It's sounds real good

Yeah, 1971 351CJ, not extremely rare though. Hell, even the M-code 351CJ had more power. I kind of have a soft spot for them, my dad does, too. Waiting in a barn are the next project cars: a 1972 Q-Code convertible and one of Ford's 1971 429SCJ test cars. Can't wait :SNSign:

PBPaulie, what are the numbers stamped into that carb?
Woodrow, technically this car is a "ram air hipo"..hipo is subjective, and a few of them had ram air (not an expensive option). The engine itself came in a few thousand cars..when you break it down by transmission, diff and color, of course it's going to get rare.

It's definitely a stock hood with aftermarket pins put in. In fact, even our 1971 302 parts car coupe has the ram air hood. The hood is not rare at all.

Guys it's a 72'. Look for a Q code coupe in 72'. There were only 90. The hood is stock. To me it doesn't matter that much I'm not buying it and pops isn't selling it. Technically it can't be worth that much. because 1, it's pretty much a spartan race car. no bumpers, mirrors, passenger seat, ect. We have all of them though. 2, it been repainted. The original carb is gone. It has a Eddy torker intake or something, I can't read it. 2inch longtubes, MSD, roller rockers, line lock, kill switch, blow proof bell housing, the original Sunpro tach. It's the old skool cool factor that has me smiling.
Imagine the torture of growing up around a race Mustang without ever being able to do ANYTHING with it and you'll understand...PB

1971 429 Super Cobra Jet (thought it was 428?) My mom had one. Drag pack, louvers, the works. One of the coolest & meanest Mustangs ever made IMO.
How about pix of that

That's what I say.
That is one of the best candidates for a resto. Lets see here:

Straight, solid body (from what I can see).
just about everything is there
Still runs

Perfect candidate.

I wouldn't mind putting time and money into it but it's my Dads and he has neither. He wants to get it drivable and race it. A lot of things have changed since the last time it ran. He needs a roll cage, driveshaft loop, battery box, ect. All things he will never get done. He's 70.
He bought a boat about 7 years ago. 5 years went by and it never got wet! I ended buying it from him. 2 years ago he bought another boat, been in the water once. Now you can see why this Mustang is like it is.
He's a character but he's my dad gottah love him

I think it looks pretty good, a restore would be nice.

But, what's a "Moon Tank"?

As in Dean Moon, founder of Moon Automotive and the ubiqitous Moon Eyes logo.

A possible pitfall of that: Clevelands have 8 valve cover bolts, but so do 351Ms and 400s of the same engine family. Neither were ever a performance engine. Also regarding the T-stat housing, on a Cleveland it not only points straight up, but it also bolts directly to the block. With Windsors it bolts to the intake manifold.


If i had my '68 when I was building an engine instead of my old '89 GT, I would have done a 4V 351C or a pseudo-Boss 302.(I had to pass smog and neither would do that here). I saw some NOS, bare, never assembled Boss 302 heads at a swap meet for $1600 once.
