No its not mine, but its my brothers car. Its his first car that he ever bought when he was 16. Back then is didn't look this nice, but it was still pretty cool. Its really a 1965 mustang that came with the 6 cylinder motor and 4 speed tranny.

Since then He's had it completely rebuilt from the frame up, but the guy who did was a moron and did a bad job.

The car handles like crap, the stereo is completely shot so I bought a complete system for it and it came today. Should be a sweet system for under 3 grand.


Here's the difficult part of the car. My brother's car has a 351 windsor motor in it now with a carb and and a crappy radiator and all that. He wants to be able to drive this car everday whereever he wants and not have trouble like he does now with it. I suggested converting it over to EFI system, or even just getting a complete new 302 block and heads and intake with a mustang harness and tranny.

What do you guys think?

 

Looks like it will be a nice vehicle when all finished, heck, looks good now. My uncle has a brand new Cleavland 350 sitting in his garage, guess he's just waiting for a vehicle to put it in.

 

I never knew GM had Cleveland motors.

I think you're going to get flamed to heck on this post .

That car never came with a 4 cylinder. The base motor for it in 65 was the 140 ci inline 6, which is probably what he had.

And a 350 windsor? Come on Joe, I can't believe you'd make that kind of typo, LOL.

Seriously, if he's having overheating issues, there are plenty of companies that make awesome drop in aluminum radiators for that car. EFI would be cool, and I've done two EFI conversions in 66 Stangs, but it's kind of a pricey project.

 

I'm kind of partial to carbs myself

 

whoops, sorry I'm trying to talk to the old lady and type and work at the same time so I wasn't thinking right in the head!! It did have a 6 in it. HEHEHEHEHHE

what do you thinK I should do with it sal.

 

Hey Joe, we should get a group photo with your red truck, my red truck, your white/blue stang, and my white/blue stang:

 

Sal is that your SHO also? That Mustang is a Charlies Angles car right?

 

Thats crued's SHO now.

 

Yep, that's a Charlie's Angels car, but unfortunately Farrah didn't come with it .

And that WAS my SHO, like Joe said, it'd Crued's car now, he bought it from me last month.

 

LOL Joe..It was the 327 Cleveland..LOL still no wait 349? 352?
353? I cant think of the dang number..348?? 350 1/2???

 

Heres an original that stopped by the shop the other day, 1 of 15 SC gt's built in 67

 

ELOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What do you think about me putting in a 302 stroked out to a 347 with twisted wedge upper and lower intakes with a twisted wedge head also ported to heck. (eddie port job).

Of course I would get a painless wiring kit for this particular job. If not then a mustang one and convert it.



i know it sounds like allot of work to do and it would be around 8 to 9 grand or so but my brother wants his mustang to be a daily driver now and I think this is what its going to take.

 

Lightning Tuner, I'm pretty sure that the base motor was a 200ci(not 140) straight 6 cyl. and the up offering from there was the 289 ci V8. In 1964 1/2 they went had a 170 ci on the 6 cyl I think.

I have a 64-1/2(build date of April 8, 1964) that has the 260 ci V8 with a generator instead of a alternator. I believe that the mustang was actually introduced on April 17th of 1964.
