Well, I have a new project...sort of.
My good buddy Joe started on his project and recently moved out of state. He asked me to help get the car going, I accepted and so he left it with me.
The Project is a 1966 Mustang Fastback that has been in his wife's family for years. In fact, I believe she drove it in high school...correct me if I'm wrong Joe.
Anyway, it was originally a 289 C4 car, but after pulling the motor to rebuild it, it turned out to have a 302. Since it wasn't numbers matching, it was easy for me to talk Joe into doing something a little more interesting than a 289 rebuild. That's when he aquired Omar's (buffhomer) 331 shortblock with AFR165 heads.
The long block was then finished out with:
Edelbrock Performer RPM intake
Comp Cams Mutha Thumpr hydraulic roller cam
-I can't wait to hear this thing idle!!
Comp cams springs, pushrods, 1.6 roller rockers, timing chain set, etc.
Milodon oil pan
Edelbrock RPM mechanical fuel pump
The C4 recieved a perfromance build by Precision in Santa Fe, keeping an automatic valve body. They also supplied a new 3,000 stall converter.
Before Joe moved, we dropped the engine & trans in on new Urethane engine & trans mounts.
So, here are some pics on Moving Day: Loaded up and ready to move behind my Dad's old Cummins, and the other nestled into my little garage.
