Usually you can go up to any dealership and have one pre ordered and they'll have one built and delivered from the factory or if they had one there then you can just buy it locally -
Alright so now I'm on a budget so screw the v8 conversions and etc. I just sold my Stang cause it had to many problems to deal with, I just explored rust around the gas tank and the whole floor under the carpet is chewed up plus the frame rails are bent do to a accident I wasn't aware of in the past so I found a 1969 mustang for sale and Gonna go take a look this weekend, has v8 rebuilt, and only needs cosmetic parts and interior, doesn't have any rust but is in mint condition, it's all I can afford right now but it doesn't have a front valance bumper or parking lights/turn signals, I wanna save money and not have to buy all at one time so what can I buy to install just to where I have functional blinkers? I don't care if I would be missing a bumper, etc. Thanks, it is also missing a export brace and just has a cover plate over the coil overs I believe?

How much you want for the whole driver door assembly with everything attached on it, the same for the passenger door, and how much you want for the dashpad and tail lights and back up lights and got any pics of the rear seats?

Haha I know which makes no sense to me, technically 50th should've neen 1964 to 2014, no 15, but they said it took them a few years to plan the perfect limited edition car

So you guys know it's the 50th anniversary for the Mustang, are any of you guys go do anything special to your mustang? I'm hoping soon I can find a used 15' 50th Anniversary mustang gas cap and seats, but not anytime soon since they just came out, any ideas?

Alright so most of you have seen my 390 engine build plans but I've changed them, a lot of you guys had made me realize how expensive everything would be and i added it all up and it came up to around $20000 to build it including everything to convert my 69 to a v8 and plus since I'm not planning on installing it any time soon, so it just wouldn't make since to waste all that unnecessary money so I have came across an old plan I was thinkin of when I bought the car, I've found a ford racing 427 v8, can i install a rear sump on the v8 suspension or just stick with front sump? I have more questions as well, which is better, 1 carb or 2 and I'll ask more later, just wanna get my notes down, car will not be used as drag or race, mostly daily driver and show sometimes Here's the engine http://www.fordracingbyspeedshopdirect.com/mobile/product.aspx?ProductCode=m%2D6007%2Dz427frt&404;http://www.fordracingbyspeedshopdirect.com:80/427_Cubic_Inch_535HP_Rear_Sump_Crate_Engine_p/m-6007-z427frt.htm=

390 4V Engine Build

I know, my dad said the same but my uncle owns a shop and he says I can use it any time I like, but I just decided to find a complete engine instead, I was originally Gonna pay $600 maximum for a engine but that $20 block caught my eye, I think I'll stick with my original plans and just buy a complete with no problems that's just needs a respray, I've found a few for around 350-500 -

8" to 9" swap cost question
1969-Mustang-ZX-427 replied to bryonbush's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
I actually found quite a few from a 69 mustang that's a 9" with 31 spline axels on Craigslist for around $500, but I live around the Los angeles area, may be different where you live, I am in the same process as I'm upgrading my inline six to a bigger power plant -

Alright thanks, and I understand that, I don't plane on dropping it in now or anytime soon, probably sometime in late 2015 or early 2016 to be realistic, I plan on using my inline six but at the time post it for sale so whoever is interested then I can pull it out then -

Alright thanks guys, and I do not plane on selling it at any point, I do have 2 other cars to sell if things get rough, and I dont wanna restore, I wanna make it look stock but still has power under the hood, I found a guy who is selling a block dirt cheap, I went to take a look today and it is in great condition, has no cracks, deep scratches inside the cylinders, nothing and the guy wants $20 for all of them, he says it has rust but it's not that bad http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/pts/4775227625.html I just need to know if it's a 390 and I do plane on putting aluminum heads, intake, etc. Do to since its heavier then the 302 or 351
