National Mustang Convention in New Zealand won best in show, best in class and entrance choice. Another show with 100k spectators won Top 20 for Fords. Craig has done very well at all the shows.

In the 1st pic, the area between the two black marks is where there is interference. As you can see in the 2nd pic, the B302 bracket drop is only 1/4" and about 11/16" of drop is needed to clear the bottom of the Summit carb. The drop section of the bracket is 0.83" wide and made out of 0.10" thick steel. I found an old galvanized switch plate that is 0.068" thick and will add about 1/2" of drop ... also verified that this added drop will not hit the intake, lots of room there. I'll cut a 0.83" wide section out of this switch plate and weld to the bottom of the B302 bracket using an old carb base as a fixture. After welding, I'll cut the center section out of the B302 bracket and add more weld to the top / cut ends. Then touch up the bare steel edges of the drop extension & welds with cold galvanize paint. As this is under the back of the carb, the mod will be out of view and it will still look like a stock / un-modded Ford bracket when installed. Doug

Found a guy parting out a 69, wants 800 for the wood grain dash clusters, tach and clock and inner/outer harness, I’m pulling. 400 for the 4 speed with factory shifter. 300 for d shaft and 9”. guy int sell the whole car to me, doesn’t have the title. Told him a signed bill of sale works for me, but he won’t do it.

Here is the motor after removal. Vintage era 302 that I plan to stroke to a 347. Should be fun!

Finished putting in a new front cross member in today.

Everyone is out buying assault weapons :)
