Oboe & Blake: Mike's '67 fastback still sits in the shop awaiting its restoration and 428 engine package. Mike is hoping to have the car driveable by late summer, early fall.
bnickel: Neither of us own a '70, but I do own a '71.
That engine pushes out about 500hp if I remember correctly, that should probably be sufficient.

No worries about about whether or not it will have enough power for motorvation. I have always thought it fitting for a classic to be packing a punch. My earlier post you spoke of made comment to the fact I would like to see more mean machine classics around town.......so I guess it's up to us to start the trend
While the 5.0 Cammer would create an cool awe factor, getting our hands on one might be difficult. I think a built up (maybe stroked) pushrod engine would be the better call....but hey nothing is concrete yet.
Pakrat said:Sounds fun, but I was going to question about the 67' also. I remember us being teased with that as soon as the orange fox body car was sold, and as you say, it still sits there (or at least has since the shiney new bullitt came along) so I am going to refrain from getting myself too excited about this new project until I see some progress.
In Mike's defense he had some real big intentions with the '67 when he first made that purchase and I give him hell all the time about it collecting dust But the fastback is his personal venture, whereas the '69 is a joint effort between he and I and I gotta admit I'm not very patient when I have a new toy to tinker with

I obviously can't wait to see what you guys cook up and what I can maybe translate over to my own 69' of course. Pakrat said:Heh, I hear ya. I even remember thinking that once the Bullitt phenomena wore down that he was going to re-announce it, but then of course came Mach 1 racers and well, you know. But all right then, since you are personally involved, I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt.
It's not molestation if it can be removed and restored to original in 3 hours or less!Pakrat said:Not every mod has to be a molestation, does it?
