  1. 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?


  2. 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=


  3. 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

  5. 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


  6. I've been wanting the idea of a 1969 Ford Mustang GT 390, but rarely see any, I found one that sadly sold to barret Jackson auction and it was a nice Acapulco blue, anyways I've been researching trying to find a motor to replace my straight 6, I've found quite a few 390's on craigs really cheap and might as well get them while there hot, I'm trying to find one from a mustang instead of a thunderbird or etc. But here's my question or prefer questions, does anyone know all the id, codes, numbers, all of them that are marked on the 390 and what they mean? I'm tryin to do research also what is required to switch from a straight six to v8, I know with a 390 i half to upgrade to a 9" Rearend, bigger radiator, upgrade transmission, coil overs, engine mounts, but how much is one of these worth when the 390 looks like it just came out of the factory (the engine, not the car)


  7. I'm kinda diggin' it! Makes me think of a 68 nose a little bit.

     

    I know right, people said it would look weird and it would be stupid because the grille lights is what makes the 69 unique but I actually like it, now that it looks like it fits and doesn't look weird, I'm gonna try and make a 2014 shelby grille and make the design on this 69 grille
