So then the plan should be:

1.  get 'er rollin' safe.
2.  Go slowly overboard as time goes by.

Good looking project. Should be fun with a dash of challenging and some bloody knuckles along the way too, all ingredients for success..............

That's the plan, put 302 in to get rolling, make driveability upgrades, build 390, swap in 390, make more upgrades. Try not to die during R&D.

It's a 67, so Fairlane front, Falcon everything else, which should mean Mustang parts should built in for suspension upgrades.

I need to expand my FoMoCo literature  :-[

My toploader is a RAN-BT1, should be good for the temp motor. Likely not so much for a healthy 390. I'll cross that bridge later.


VIN is 7K48Z203xxx  66B W 4U 04E 25 4  5

That's good to know that my rear should have 3.25's.
