Another Mustang dream...

[ScotiaFE]

I have owned this Fastback since the early 80's.
It was my daily at one point for a few years.
I still have a daily fastback so to speak.
I have at least two complete FE drive lines in 4 speed.
And one in auto mode.
The koolest would be the 427 Genisis block, with 4.250 arm, BBM heads, Ford TW
then a Jerico 4 Speed.
I will try and get a picture of both the Fairlane and the Fastback on the track
together in the next year or so. I have the junk I just need to get off my ass
and do it.

Awesome project!  Good luck with the motivation thing.  I know what that's like...

Cool! Should that be a Ford TL (Toploader) not a TW?

Have you considered a more modern 5 or 6 speed tranny rather than a Jerico? I've an older model Richmond/Doug Nash street 5 speed like Jay also had in a 'Stang long ago. Nice as it allows 1:1 in 5th with a 3.00 9 inch rear and lowered highway rpms yet a great 1st gear overall ratio. 

Still, I've considered a more modern Tremec 600 for even more top gear rpm reduction. Not exactly cheap yet they aren't giving away Jerico's either!

I already have two Jerico's, older ones but good street/strip type so they work pretty good for me.
And of course the Tunnel Wedge which is a real mint condition Ford casting. Really Kool!

Sweet ride, looking forward to seeing it come together.
