Re: Newly aquired 67 Mustang
Well I don't really know a whole lot about the car's history. The motor has been rebuilt but never run. My father-in-law said that they couldn't get it to start and thought it was a problem with the flexplate. I need to talk to him some more about that problem.
There shouldn't be any wear on the valve springs because they are new.
I haven't got a complete plan for the drivetrain. I had been looking for a shell or 6 cyl to get real cheap build from the ground up with a Tremec 5-speed, 351W bored and stroked to maybe a 393, along with either a 8.8 or 9 inch rear with around a 3.55. BUT, lol, out of the blue he gives me his pride and joy. Since it already has a V8 and an automatic that has really good potential I'm thinking about just keeping that set up but still wanting to get some more hp/torque out of the motor. At minimum I want to be in the mid to low 13s. BUT as you could tell from what my previous goal was I was shooting for considerably lower ETs.
The interior will be going back to pretty much completely original Aqua.
The exterior will be Black on top from front to back (edge of hood to edge of trunk)/side to side (fender edge to fender edge) and then the original Clearwater Aqua around the rest of the car.
The brakes aren't currently working so I gotta figure out what to do. It's 4 wheel drums. I'd ideally like to have 4 wheel discs as well as with 5 lug pattern like the SN95s so I can run better wheels.
