I've been a subscriber for a while. Lost of good Ford Powered fun.

It reminds me of the  LTD I had in the early 80's. Same color. I liked driving that car. But family needs made a sale the thing to do. The old Courier PU got so much better mileage. But no where as nice to drive.

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.
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.

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.

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'.

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.

My reason for saying to look is due to a 67 Custom 4 door I had. It was a 289 2V car with a automatic. The rear in it was a integral carrier axle. I had a 61 Ranch Wagon in High School. But never checked what axle was under it.

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.

I love that roof line. It's to bad Ford didn't hold over that roof for 1962. I'd like to see one done with the 63 1/2 64 roof put on it.

Is that the same as a glove box?    Joe-JDC

No, on a 67/68 Cougar XR-7 the map pocket is on the door panel. On a 69/70 it is on the back of the bucket seats. I don't think any Mustangs got them. It was part of the European interior theme Mercury was going for with the XR-7 package. 

I have a couple extra 69/70 sets, but it looks like Royce is looking for 67/68 ones.
