Anyone seen a Paxton K??

    Hi all.


    Just wondering if anyone has come across a paxton supercharged K. Can you still get the vintage paxtons? Any idea what the price of one would be and what mods you would have to do to the K? Have always wondered what it would be like to supercharge a K. Probably wouldn't do it to mine, no telling what it would do to the value. Unless.... any ideas??


    Thanks guys & gals.


    Regards,

    Hi Rene,

    Craig Conley at Paradise Wheels sells complete

    Paxton setups. Don't know the exact prise but

    it's probably around USD 3,500.

    Just search on the web for his email address.

    Craig is a top guy.

    About a year and a half ago I found a k code with a dealer installed paxton a few miles from where I grew up in Michigan. The engine ran and the paxton sounded great. I'm now in the process of restoring the car. I've put pictures of the car on this site.

    Sooo...You think a healthy and tuned stock K-code Mustang is fast?...Well...Yes it is...BUT with a Paxton it is SUPER FAST...like having two Hipos in the same car! Or like have a jet engine with one hell of an afterburner to propel you forward on demand, yet docile!


    I drove my 67 GT350 for 15 years before adding a Paxton in 1991. I have said many times since that I would not own/drive a 289 Hipo without a Paxton. Now that I have a rarer 67K Mustang w/its original drive train, I am relucant to add a non-stock Paxton, for reasons of originality/rarity and preservation of the original drive train.


    I feel that if you want to add a Paxton to a K, and really DRIVE it, then do so with a quasi-289Hipo built from a date correct C5AE block, Mex caps, Boss302 rods, stock 289 crank and C3OE Hipo heads...all built to 289HP specs with upgraded pistons/valves/valve seats/rocker arms/timing chain. Use C8 balancer. The original performance will be very similar, thou more reliable...and if it blows, you won't cry over your lost original K engine. Once the Paxton is put on it will be hard to drive a K-code again without.


    Anyway, I have been thru all the modifications that are required and desirable for this addition. Bottom line...the expense, trial and tribulations were all worth the effort. Try it, you won't like it you'll Love it!
