Here's the engine compart of the fastback when we had it all torn down. We replaced the front 3 sections of metal due to rust and other damage.

The car looks like something that's worse than at a junkyard!!!!

Hey Pony, that looks like one of my front end allignment jobs, LOL. And I wonder why my front tires don't seem to last?

Loaded Trailer
 
Man that little truck and trailer is loaded isnt it. I mean that is unsafe pullin that kinda weight with such a small Truck and trailer.

Just kiddin. It look like it will make a nice car. If it in as good shape as the coupe when you get it done it will be nice.

6T9PONY 12-12-2001 10:43 PM

Oh man.....it will be NICER than my Coupe! I decided that since I've already had good practice on the coupe, I need to do everything on the fastback just as good or better if I can.

I can't wait!!!!!

600!!!!!!!! Tireburner.....here I come!!!!!

Nice Nice, I know you know how to work your magic. I'll post some pics of my stang when I bought it as soon as I get them scanned. I regret not getting any pics of the old white interior before I got it changed.

6T9PONY 12-12-2001 10:48 PM

White interior huh.....I don't think I would have liked that.....black is the only way to go in a muscle car!!!!!

1969Mach1 12-12-2001 11:00 PM

Well like I said before I changed it. =) It's getting redone black interior with a red accent on the seats. And the rear inner 1/4 pannels we bought black vinyl paint and took off all the trim and painted it black and I must say it came out very very nice! No one knew I painted them. I'll show you pics, honestly it is hard to tell the difference. I did the roof, the visors, and 1/4 pannels. I am buying new door pannels. I got the deluxe ones so it's going to cost me a good amount. I just need the shell, not the carpet or wood so that is going to save me a fair amount of money. The previous owners I guess started to restore this car so I am just taking over where he left off. The good thing is the engine is done. :D Well it's done but not with me. After everything is done I will BEEF it up. :D

mustangman65_79 12-13-2001 12:37 AM

I thought my car was a mess. That car will look good when u get it done. I bet ppl are begging u to fix it up like the '67 GT-500 in "Gone in 60 Seconds".

6T9PONY 12-13-2001 12:48 AM

Nope...hehe.....haven't had any "Eleanor" requests yet...hehe....I have had a lot of requests for fixing it up just like my coupe...so I suppose a lot of people will be getting their way!

mustangman65_79 12-13-2001 01:19 AM

I know around here, thats all I would here. Although it's not a bad idea, but I don't like to copy ppl. I'd do it my own way, what motor does it have, or do u have one???

6T9PONY 12-13-2001 01:35 AM

It had a 351C in it. I pulled that out and sold it for $900. I put in my Windsor, with a couple new goodies, from my coupe (in sig). I added the TCI stall and the 110 gph fuel pump. I'm hoping this 3000 pound car will get me right around a 14 flat. All I need now is an electronic ignition and the Edelbrock RPM heads!

mustangman65_79 12-13-2001 01:49 AM

Did u stroke out the Windsor? What kind of cam are u running? I wish I had about $500 because a shop here was selling a 351C never used, that had 190Lbs per cylinder. Don't know what kind of compresion that is.

6T9PONY 12-13-2001 01:58 AM

My Windsor has stock bottom end. Stock bore, stock stroke. I have an Edelbrock Performer RPM cam. 224, 234 duration. .496, .520 lift. It has a pretty rough idle. Nothing drastic or anything. But enough to get noticed!:D

mustangman65_79 12-13-2001 04:08 AM

Nothing aginst you, but I would have left in the 351C. But thats me. I'm a big fan of that motor. I think the 351W ia great for smaller cars or newer because the 351W Block is smaller and easier to fit in a smaller car.

mustangman65_79 12-13-2001 04:09 AM

Hey, for $100, I can get u a 429 Complete-running, but needs a rebiuld. But there's an idea for u.

1969Mach1 12-13-2001 08:56 AM

Nice Nice.... I have pretty much the same car, other then mine is the Windsor. Apparently the 351-4bbl's in 1969 were only Windsors. But I have no idea what has been done to my engine but I know it's been done up. It has alot of power. I'm getting the timing adjusted come spring and getting it dyno'd.
What are some things I can look to see what has been done up on the engine. I know it has a new 4bbl holley carb, K&N, I changed the fuel pump. Anything else?

6T9PONY 12-13-2001 01:11 PM

I thought about leaving the Cleveland in the car, but I did the right thing by swapping in my Windsor. The Cleveland was built by a guy, had a HOlley 650 double pumper, a Performer intake, and he said a "Cobra" cam. When we got the car there was no air cleaner, the engine compartment was a mess. Wires running all over the place, oil setting in pockets on the engine...it was not pretty at all...I built the Windsor, I know exactly what it has in it, and it is very reliale. Never had any mechanical problems with it at all. It has good power, great power. I'm sure the Cleveland would have ran good with a little TLC, but I just wanted to do the sure thing.

With that 429 you were talking about, I'd have to change my shock towers just to get that thing to fit in there. They had to do that on all the Boss 429 cars in '69 and '70.

You should have modified the water passages on those Clevland heads and put them on the Windsor block. There is a company somewhere that makes the special intake to do it. It basicly makes a "Boss 302" with 351 cubic inches. with some mild porting those Clevland Heads would flow some serious cfm.

Your right about putting the Cleveland heads on a Windsor but just liek the "Boss 302" they are junk unless you are able to turn high rpm's. A "true Boss 302" would be nice to have if you were restoring a a true boss car but other wise the are junk. They make little to no power in the low rpms and driving one through town would suck. Pure race motor - those heads and Windsor bottom end would be ideal. And the "Boss 302" you had would mean that the 351 had 4 bolt mains, the only way to get a 4 bolt main 351 is to go to the 351 cobra jet (clevland) or buy a new sportsman block for a couple grand. The company that makes the inake IS "Bush Performance" in Oklahoma or Nebraska, cant remember exact location and they carb intake is 400 bucks alone.

If you put those heads on a Windsor bottom end unless you are plannign on running a Huge alky carb or something no porting is needed. I mean the ports are huge. trust me I have a pair. I have seen them and toyed with the idea of building a Clevor motor in times past but just havent done it. the freakin valves are huge too. All you would have to do is get a set of headers made and maybe slick up the ports. You wouldnt even have to have much material taken out.

Come on now guys....I'm 17, live in a town with about 6000 people (which means no machining shops, only a NAPA and Carquest)...I would have to drive quite a while to get those Cleveland heads somewhere to do that work on them. Plus I wouldn't get near as much money out of the engine when I sold it. And if I'm going to put any different heads on my car, they're going to be aluminum, unless I get a good set of irons for free! Haha...

I already have a set of good headers, and I already bought a new Performer RPM intake. There is no way in hell that I'd bother to do all that extra work for iron heads. I WANT THE PERFORMER RPM HEADS!!!

They will come with time...hehe...I just need MONEY!

Coupe Devil 12-13-2001 04:49 PM

Hey man modding the Cleveland heads is no big deal. Go pick yourself up a Ford Racing Performance Parts catalog. There is detailed instruction in the back on how to do it. And it's just a matter of drilling a hole really. And as far as the intake goes. YOu can use a spacer between an intake for the windsor and the clevland heads. But I understand that about the small town. NO SPEED SHOPS ANYWHERE. There are acouple of guys that do machine works and have hot rods so they appreciate and like the work were I live.
