Hi guys, so I just bought a 66 mustang with a 302 engine from a 74 maverick. Although I'm not new to mustangs this is my first classic. Are there any websites out there similar to this one with helpful info? Any recommended vendors? thanks in advance!!!!

the classic mustang section over at stangnet.com has a bunch of guys who really know their shit. check over there.
Looks clean, just ditch the wheels.
+2 nice car tho!
nice looking car. definitely get some old, classic style wheels. The old magnum 500's would look nice on there:beer:
wheels must be melted down. but decent lookin ride there.
need to adjust the hood too....looks like the hood springs might be weak

I've always had good luck ordering from cjponyparts.com. Their prices are always decent too. Vintage Mustang Forums is an awesome forum for classic mustangs. I'm assuming since SVTP doesn't cater to classic Mustangs that it's ok to post up that link, if not my apologies.
If you want a suggestion for that 302, yank out that underpowered flat tappet pos and drop in a high output 5.0 (302) roller motor out of a fox or 94/95 Mustang. I've got a Ford Explorer 5.0 with GT40 heads waiting to go into my '65 Mustang.
its funny so many people have told me to ditch the wheels. Even the previous owner said to ditch them and get some stockers with hub caps so I'll probably end up doing that. It needs new hood latches, mirrors, upholstery and the back windows need fixing too. As far as mods go, it has a 4 barrel carb., C4 tranny, pertronix ignition & edelbrock performer intake. Nice car fastback2+2!!!!!

Hey, That's no Fastback! Your username is a lie!

O.P. Mustang's Plus is a another place to get parts for the classic stangs.
Nice buy I hope to have another '66 one day. My highschool ride was a '66 289 A code coupe
VMF is good. You gonna use the standard belt setup on that 5.0? Remember those are GT40P heads and will take a lil work to get headers to work. Also explorer and mountaineer 5.0's are reverse serpentine so they are a pain to use the serpentine setup. that being said, a mountaineer 5.0 short block is what is in the 67 coupe now.
if you want TRUE service, Mustang Parts: OEM, Performance & Accessories you might pay a little more but you can tell john what year car and what bolt and he'll rattle off the size, thread pattern, etc. he knows EVERYTHING and ive never gotten the wrong part
petronix ftw!
sixt5's coupe is currently in much nicer condition than mine (he's a local buddy of mine)
there had to be a first mustang for me
my first mustang was this 1965 Fastback
Congrats! I've always loved the older mustangs.
