Just bought a 68

[gbeals]

Yeah, so far so good. I've only had a few hours to spend with my new purchase. But Body is in great condition. The entire floor is new - New carpet - New exhaust and mufflers all the way back. Rebuilt 351W (Stock) 2 weeks on the rebuild. I do need a new radiator and hoses and seat belts. I'll have to replace some fuses, and should be road worthy.

Yeah I do have drums all around. It's taking some getting used to (when I was driving it) But car over heats rather quickly due to radiator. Car does look nice, just needs some rims and some minor body work.

I was wondering.. Is there a way to tell the year of the engine? That is the only thing the previoius owner did not know - since he got this engine out of a 86 mustang. Also, Im going for the "Muscle" look on this car - fat tires out back and smaller up front. I think the 16x8 torque thrusts will be in my near future, but what is the reccommended tire combination to get the look in the attached photo. Also I believe this is a 1" drop up front as well. Any insite to this would be great.

Also, what kind of carb should I be looking at?

[Paul 69 Mach I]

I have a 69 Mach I Frt disc rear drum. 4 Spd. I wouldn't race mine with the engine in the shape it is in. Runs great, just tired & could use a rebuild. But I want to get the rest of the drivetran in shape befor I rebuild it. Next year though I'll take it to the track & run a couple 1/4 miles after the engine is broken in.
