Engine shots and first startup of my bro's '67 Stang

[Starfox07]

Seems like there is a lot of classic ford muscle being posted around here, so I thought I'd post up my brothers 1967 Coupe.

It's still very much a work in progress, but the engine is nearly done (for now)

-1990 5.0 longblock bored .030 over
-Weiend intake manifold
-Full MSD ignition
-Holley 650 Carb
-Hooker long tube headers

The start; out with the old: (very tired stock 289)

(this is actually December 2007 so its a longgg time coming, he's in graduate school for engineering, and I'm in architecture= not much free time)

New motor:

After some work:

Glovebox mounted MSD:

Almost ready for install:

Finally home:

Sadly the heater core blew out so we're waiting on parts now.

Future plans include either trickflow or cleveland heads, top loader 4 speed (C3 in it now) and finishing the body work. Floor pans are pretty bad so interior is probably next.

Motor looks and sounds good man.

Cool project:beer: Why not go with a newer 5-6 speed trans?

 

[kbsonicstang]

car sounds good...what cam is in the motor

 

[silverbullit]

Congrats, looks fun.

Is that a question or a joke? Top Loader > new crap

:shrug: I figured it would be nicer to have a extra gear or two.

I have a 4 speed now and I want to switch to a T5 really bad

but thats my opinion

 

[supercarkiller]

looking good so far man, keep the good work up!

If its a toploader, he'll buy it from you most likely.

And he wants the top loader because they are simply unbreakable, plus 4 speeds are just cool. :beer:

As far as I know, its the stock HO cam, but we didn't look. Only reason we know its a 306 is because we had to take one of the heads off.

toploader in mine, wide ratio too. from what i've read these things are beasts. its nice having the extra strength but i wish i had over drive too.

what roller parts did he use?

I would sell it but mine isn't a toploader (just one of the reasons I hate it haha)

but I want overdrive like previously stated, I want to have some highway driveability

Nice project!!! Should be nice when it's done........

I couldn't help but notice in the "Almost ready for install" pic, the carb is on the intake backwards....lol.....I know it was probably just stuck on for the pic, but couldn't help noticing that....

 

[lancec2c30]

What do you mean?

Valvetrain stuff, looks like there is a set of aluminum rockers on there.

id most likely do a TKO. T5's are JUNK. me and a buddy went through 4 t5's and 1 t5 zspec on a stock long block 5.0 in a 65 coupe. they barely hold anything for power and you can shift through the gears easily without a good aftermarket shifter with blocks

what roller parts did he use?

it looks like a roller long block with 289/302 intake, carb and front timing chain cover and accessories. thats whats done to mine. 1990 will be E7 heads.

:lol: yeah I just noticed that too. That picture was taken actually a few months before it started, so it actually wasn't all that 'ready'

The rockers are 1.6's I got from a friend for $50 basically new. Other than that, its all stock 5.0 HO.

I have a 4 speed in my 67 stang, with the 3.90 gears, it tacks so high doing even 60mph.. I would love to put a 5 or even 6 speed in my car

 

[Almighty-One]

^my exact problem haha

 

[sixt5]

any plans on dyno-ing it? im really thinking about building up a roller 5.0 to throw in mine. factory HO motors can be had for about 200.
