Back to making a few mods to the 69 ... been a while but... a Holley Sniper EFI setup has been installed.  so i have a mighty Demon 750 annular carb for sale.  I will be moving to the Holley dualsync distributor and Digital6+ at a later date.  The dualsync /Digital6+ will replace my Mallory MaxFire distributor and coil setup.
Currently the Holley Sniper EFI is running great, one of the best mods i have ever done.

nice.. very nice....!! cant wait to see the progress....:biggrin:

we adjusted the camber on the driver side by changing the setting on the eccentric setup from TCP .. looked like an old VW bug in the front until we changed it... thought this pic of the bird catcher was neat...

yep... looking good... great blog..

ok,
 
so it begins, on 69stang.com anyway...
my project has started and stopped several times over the last 8 years. From a simple pro-motorsports shock tower reinforcement kit install, before they start cracking ..to lets install all the pro-motorsports equipment I can on the car and, while the motor is out, lets do a motor rebuild. Over eight years later and a failed attempt at a roller 5.0 twin turbo install and numerous project changes as well as job changes.... and we end up today. It seems sometimes a mustang must pass so other mustangs can be rejuvinated. Which means, I totaled my 96 Cobra hitting someone that ran a stop sign and will be taking the funds from the Cobra and building the 69 coupe.
 
I am posting a few before pics here to hopefully get input from others and share current modifications as well as future mods.
 
Stats:
69 champagne gold coupe - electric blue by previous owner
351W 2bbl - building 408 clevor stroker with AFD 2V alloy heads
PDB - rebuilt with mustangs plus parts
PS - rebuilt slave myself with kit from NPD
FMX - removed and replaced with AOD
9" 3:00 open - replaced with 69 date code 31 spline posi with 31 spline moser axles, daytona pinion support, 3:77 gear
standard interior- installed centre console from 69 cougar XR7, shelby lid, gauge pod
stock steering wheel- replaced with rimblow from cougar to be rebuilt
 
Mods:
promotorsports:bumpsteer kit, negative wedge kit,520 progressive coils, shock tower reinforcement kit
shelby drop, boxed in mustangs plus magna upper/lower arms. KYB Gas Adjust shocks, mustangs plus:4 1/2 rear leafs reverse eye 180lb,
racing shackles, weld in sfc's, vintage 48's 16x8's, poly& graphite bushings everywhere but front leafs and strut rod bushings replaced with stock rubber.

 
yep, I live in the woods with no garage at the moment.
 

 
currently has a EFI 5.0 and AOD... not running. maier type bar/brace off of ebay.
 

 
Cant decide on a new colour as of yet... thinking of going with original champagne gold with vinyl top or calypso coral and vinyl top... either way with a Boss 302 C stripe and blacked out hood, headlight buckets and tail light panel.
 
a unclean interior shot...

 
more to come...

for all the 351 clevor builders out in the world... wondering what push rod length people end up with, i ended up with comp cams 3/8 - 8.45 push rods.
 
also, should end up @ 11.1 on the comp ratio with the flat top pistons with canted valve relief ... the AFD heads are super efficient so we will see how the test and tune ends up with different octane fuels. would love to get this motor on an engine dyno .. but cant seem to locate one .. and when i do... its down for repairs.. shooting for 500hp/500tq btw...
 
block mod for valves? no you say.... well ... yes if you look at the SVO head gaskets the block is .. clearanced... machined etc... at the bore where the valve gets near the block. seems they are also done the same on a cleveland block.
 
the engine builder had to message the melling oil pump and canton crank scraper in order to get the main girdle, crank scraper and oil pan to fit. seems odd since it was ordered as a complete... expensive...kit from Canton... but oh well. when you build something different ... modification come out of the wood work..:hammer:
:tongue_smilie:
 
i hope everyone has a great holiday!

Quick update.. been hanging out with my Dad... So Andy is getting the 69 ready to make the mustang show in Savannah.. Trying to get setup for the track day... So Andy swapped the brembo calipers to the correct side with bleeders straight up!!
Still loving the vintage venom kit!
 
intermittent blinker problem is in the NEW turn signal switch... so still working it out.

ok - i ended up purchasing some shelby valve covers - it was hard after all the law suits started up again with factory 5 etc. but, they look great and a legend is a legend. if i dont like them after a while, ill pick up the detomaso valve covers. i attached some bad camera phone pics - camera battery died. and yes my car/motor is over an hour away in a buddy's shop.

nice very nice.... its always fun cruisin with tunes.. good work!!

ok -- chin spoiler installed... pics are before we secured it with the small self taping screws... i like it!:punk:
 
also received a quote from Maier Racing on a fiberglass 69 hood with eliminator scoop... hope to order first week of October if all goes as planned!
