FE Technical Forum / 1965 Mustang with 427
« on: April 14, 2023, 09:02:48 PM »
I stumbled on a clip today that said Ford rolled out 11 Fastback Mustangs in 1965 with 427s.  Does anyone know if this is true?  I'd like to read about this or better yet see some pictures.  Any info would be appreciated.

Good for you!  I've never been much of a drinker but I've been around enough of it to know how hard it is on you and those around you.  You're a better man without it, guaranteed.  It's always heart warming for me to see fellow man succeed.  Keep up the good work bud.

I chatted with Blair by text a few days ago, he is at the shop working.  I know he has a lot or irons in the fire and is having a hard time holding onto good help.  That's kind of the theme song for most small businesses right now unfortunately.  I don't like to distract him during the workday so I usually send him a text and let him get back to me when he can.  That seems to be the best way catch up with him.

Bridgeport made a smaller "M" head mill.  They are much less common than the standard J head, but they do exist.

They do pedal their own line of brake stuff, but I used Wilwood.  Since I already had a Wilwood kit on the rear they set me up with the caliper brackets, aluminum hats for the rotors and the part numbers for the appropriate Wilwood rotors and calipers.

I have the RRS strut front suspension kit for a 66.  Mustang II suspension is much more popular, I liked this route better, either way it's not a cheap endeavor...

Out of curiosity, are there any octane boosters that actually work?  Something you could carry with you to throw in the tank if you were running on the edge with 94 octane and you were out of town and couldn't get "good gas?"

The process uses high pressure water and abrasive media instead of compressed air and media.  It's has a lot of benefits, primarily no dust.

Ok, not my intention to insinuate that Fairconman is looking to rip anyone off.  This went a little off track.  I have no reason not to trust this guy and don't want to represent anything other than that.

I think Blair still has heads available.

Ford offered a tunnel port package for the Windsor in the 90s.
Required a unique block.

Then they abruptly pulled it from the market and bought back parts that they had delivered.

Why the special block, and what other development work was done for that package?

I wonder why they wanted them back so bad.

I've had an FL1A split at 110-120 pounds.  I found the K&N filters to be much more durable.

I would agree with that 100%. I want to support local people as much as possible and I’m new to FE’s. If I were closer to someone on this forum I’d go to them for the machine work as well. I’m in South Carolina just outside of the Charlotte NC area but only know of the big name shops up in Mooresville. Holman Moody is only about 30 minutes away from me but last I checked with Lee, his engine builder retired.

Brent and Barry are too modest to come right out and say it, buy you can buy any of these parts from either one of these guys.
