Interesting read…., thanks for posting.Google dropped the 9600 form the search. If I'm not mistaken 9600 is the base number for an air cleaner assembly. I didn't come up with any info for C5MF-9600-C.
A curiosity, what is a C5MF-9600-C air filter assembly from a 65 Galaxie for use in low ambient (below 40F) conditions for street operation? Is this totally different from the typical aluminum oval assembly? Any pictures available on what they look like? All Google comes up with on initial search is a C5MF-C 2100 carburetor.
THe continued story on this is really interesting. The folks who salvaged the boat tracked down the original owners, who related how they got caught in a big storm with a dead engine causing the boat to become swamped by large waves and sinking. The man, woman, and little kid on board barely escaped with their lives and did not want the boat back due to memories of the horrific experience.That was a deferent boat, That was powered by a 429/460 that was still complete. The 2 Youtubers that worked on it are Fab r=Rat's and Merlin's old school garage. Merlin got the 429/460 running with a little maintenance and a carb. Fab Rats had some trouble with the Utah Fish and game department for transporting what ever the Muscle is that Fish and Game doesn't want transported. But no muscles were present on the boat.
The finders got the boat cleaned up, and most surprisingly, they got the 460 running with minimal effort! They were also able to figure out why the engine stalled on the lake in the storm. Then some petty, jealous, government bureaucrat gave them infinite grief and tried to charge them with violating some regulation while recovering the boat so they had to get an attorney and fight. It's all on youtube.
Tommy---I knew a guy, who was a sheriff's deputy that bought a wrecked 66 GT 350 and put the power train in to a 65 Falcon 2 door wagon. The GT 350 may have been repairable, but in 1972ish it was just a wrecked Mustang. He told me the swap was one of the easiest he ever did. Down to the interments, door sill plates and 9 inch rear. He had some great stories about the local teenagers street racing him. Later, when on duty he would stop them and warn them about the dangers of such racing activity's. Later he pulled the K code Shelby engine out of the wagon and the car. He then put the engine in to his wife's 68 Cougar. She still has the engine, but in a 67 Cougar.
I once bought, from a fellow FoMoCo engineer, a 1960 Falcon that he had driven in to work at EEE one weekend. Over that weekend, he had swapped the entire powertrain sourced from a 1966 GT 350. Both the engine and the trans were, externally, stock 'K' Mustang components. The engine had the tri-Y headers that came on the earliest GT 350s and they fit much easier into the Falcon chassis that the Gratiot four tube items I put on my '65 1/2 Mustang GT.
(The inside of both the engine and C4 trans were a different story. Virtually every part internally had a splash of blue lay-out dye with some ariation of an 'XE' number scratched into the blue.)
The Tri-Y headers went on and off from the top without disturbing the engine mounts. They may have monkeyed with the Falcon unit body, but if they did it wasn't at all obvious.
Since the car looked stock from the outside, it was a very fun 'sleeper'.

Is it just me or is nothing coming up.Not alone, I didn't get anything.
Ford was doing strokers for land speed runs long ago.
Good luck with the plan.
