Like Barnett468 said, what engine do you have?  If you have a car with staggered rear shocks like my 428 CJ Mach 1, there is only one performance kit option for staggered shocks that I know of.  If you have a mild 302 and don't have plans to add more power, you might not need a 21/2 inch pipe.  21/4 might work better.

Probably this?  http://www.cjponyparts.com/decal-pcv-ring-428cj-scj-1968-1969/p/DEC983/

After getting one in 2010, I thought FE stood for Friggin Expensive!

I'm pretty sure putting a cheby part on your Mustang is a felony and grounds for immediate arrest.

He doesn't have a stable yet since he doesn't have a Mustang lol!  Seriously though, welcome to the forum and best of luck in your search.  What geographic area are you looking?

Pretty sure FORD selected matte/textured black for a reason.  Probably the same reason the cowling on the P-51 MUSTANG was painted Matte Black.  Brian

One more thing about FE intake manifolds.  There were many different manifolds, both factory and aftermarket, made for FE engines.  There are also many different intake manifold bolt kits made for the FE intake manifolds.  
 
I highly recommend you put the bolts you have in the manifold with the manifold still off, and measure how much bolt sticks out the bottom.  Then take a nail and stick in in the hole that bolt is supposed to go in and 1)  make sure the bolt will be long enough to catch at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch of threads (including the width of the gasket,) and 2) make sure the bolt won't bottom out.  If the bolt bottoms out, you may keep torquing waiting for the torque wrench to say you have the proper reading reading, but the threads will strip before that reading is reached.  If this happens, you will need to pull the manifold back off and helicoil repair that hole in the block.  If it one of the holes back by the firewall, this can be a real chore.
 
By the way, the back bolts will bottom out in the hole on a Blue Thunder intake manifold if you use the ARP intake manifold bolt set.  Don't ask me how I know.  Let's just say I've learned the above lesson, and I'm in the process of taking the manifold back off! 

On FE engine heads, one of the holes were the rocker stand bolts go is different, and you will see 2 holes when you look into it.  One hole is were the bolt goes, and the other is an oil passage.  Many FE guys think too much oil is going to the rockers, so they put a Holley carb jet in that oil passage hole.  It is a perfect fit.  I have size 70 jets in mine.  You will get different answers on what size jet to use.  Also, the bolts that are used to secure the rocker shafts are different sizes.  3 per head will be one size, and 1 per head will be different.  The different one goes in the hole with the oil passage.

And it's Holmes in the lead! I've always thought that the M1 Garand was a really cool rifle.

I got an M-1 Garand rifle, and a Amazon $50 gift card!

I got one from Mustangs Unlimited, it's off by about 4 gallons, but erring on the good side. When the needle just reaches "E" I know I still have 4 gallons left. It does go all the way to full though too.

Who makes the best fuel tank sending unit these days for a 1969?  I need a new one, and want one that is pretty accurate and will last with the additives they put in the gas these days. 

Keep in mind if you have time you can make your own..Its been done...About 400 threads ago....
Round and firm with just the right size and feel....I need to leave now.......

Yea, with a hot rodded dual quad 428 getting probably 8 mpg at best, I need to know when I'm getting close to empty for real.  If I'm out of gas, it's too late!

Mach 1s don't leak.  They are just marking their territory!
 
I'm partial to the old school look.  I like the stock GT style wheels, Magnums, Cragers, Keystone Classics, and slotted aluminum mags.  Solid brushed or polished Centerlines can look good also, especially for the racer look with big meats in the back and pizza cutters up front.  Do not care for the tall rims with thin tire.

Do you mean 428 instead of 429? 1970 Mustangs didn't have 429s unless it is a Boss 429 engine. 429 Cobra Jets in Mustangs was only 1971 from the factory.

You might be more happy with a 3.25 or 3.50.  Depending on your cam (and you say it is fairly aggressive), it might become somewhat of a dog at launch and low RPM with a 3.00.

I use all my extensions put together, run under the exhaust manifold or header, with ratchet winding up in front of alternator, easy as pie.

I got best project car award Sunday at the Thurston County WA. Mustang Club car show on Sunday!  My friend got best Ford other than Mustang with her 64 Galaxie convertable with a 390 under the hood.

Now I get to be a ghost that haunts mustang forums forever. Cool!!     Maybe there is free beer? 

Just remember that a shaker will limit your intake manifold choices.  I have an early Mach 1 style hood with the 4 pie cut outs.  Hopefully by next month I'll have my 427 medium riser dual quad set up on and dialed in.  It all fits under the hood and nobody knows until the hood is opened!
