Hello All.

Mission accomplished!

I was able to find a local car, from a really nice guy, equipped the way I wanted, but I did end up going a good bit above my budget.

They sure aren't giving these things away these days.

R Code 3.91 Drag Pack

Thanks for everyone's replies.

The picture is after completing the deal at the previous owners garage last night, I won't actually have it home for about a month.

As you can see in the back ground, he has a mountain of Mach 1 stuff, what you can't see are the several other cars, and the rest of high end pieces in his collection.

Just a really cool old guy, and I'm very glad to have met him.

Hello All.

I am looking for a 69-70 Mustang fastback.

Hoping to find something that is a driver, and doesn't need complete unibody reconstruction (but I am a realist), preferably some kind of running project, all the way up to a decent driver.

Whatever it is, I am going to top out budget wise at about 20k, and I am located on the east coast.

Thanks much, Mike Howard, cell / text at 617-913-5540

I bought one of those off eBay and put it in my 73 Montego GT. Nothing special 351c, 4 speed, 4.10 gears, sticky 245/50 16 tires.

It took 4 summers worth of beating the ever living tar out of it, ended up breaking a 28 spline axle, and twisting the daylights out of the other side in it, but it always locked up, never un-loaded.

I know, you get what you pay for, but I got way more fun out of that piece than I should have.

Hello All.

This is a 390 builder I am moving on from as I found myself a 428 to use instead.

I have had this set of heads for decades, really nice set of castings that are in nice shape with no damage or issues.

EDC-E castings with machined combustion chambers.

The block date code is 9E24. It is hard to read, but it is a 9 with a dash under it.

The head date codes are 76D & 86F, the early casting has the freeze plug in the ends, the later one does not.

The block is standard bore, the crank is standard / standard.

It has a matched set of C7AE-B rods, the timing cover, and a good set of nonadjustable shafts / rockers.

This is the 3rd Streetmaster intake I have owned, I blasted it because someone painted it black.

This is the cleanest one I have had to date. All the threads are 100% except the water outlet threads for the heater core. They are not that crisp.

I think it is a reasonably easy fix. It looks like it could be chased with a pipe tap, and then use some thread sealer on it.

I was going to freshen this up with a set of .030 forged pistons, send the heads out for a CJ valve job, and put new rings / bearings in it, but am moving on to the 428 instead.

Located south of Boston, MA.

Asking $800.00 for everything as seen and I am open to offers or trades.

Thanks, Mike Howard

Valvoline VR1 straight 40.

My stuff is older, usually has plenty of miles on it and for the most part is used in the summer time only.

It provides "Piece of mind" by bumping the oil pressure reading at idle over 10w-30 (when hot) by about a full 10 PSI.

Thanks, Mike H.

i have a pair of ansen or cal custom finned valve covers . baffles are still in but will interfere with adjustable rocker arms w/o removal. also have a pair of OE snake covers but don't really want to sell them. also  have a new pair of pent roofs from fordmotorsports still in the box for sale and maybe a few more..

PM sent.

Thanks Jim.

I would like to add some additional dyno information from my 351c build with a Bud Moore dominator top Maxi Box intake.

The engine is 408 inches, 4v iron heads with closed chambers. It has Roush intake inserts installed and PME hi-port exhaust plates.

The Roush hi-port plates were no longer available at the time when I bought the BME intake and inserts from Red at Roush racing in 1990.

It is 10.0:1 compression so it is pump gas friendly and has a custom solid flat tappet cam.

The only work done to the intake was the floor of the ports were epoxied up to match the height of the intake inserts about 6 inches into the intake runners, and it has Pro Systems 1050 dominator installed on top.

The engine made 582 HP at 6800.

Please PM me if you have questions not related to the thread topic.

Thanks, Mike H.
