Dave, If you are trying to actually replicate the original, this is not it.

The C6OZ boot is listed for 67 to 70 Mustangs and is incorrect for your 65 or 66 Mustang. The C6OZ boot is shorter in length and larger in diameter where it goes through the firewall. The C6OZ boot will not fit the hole. Other than that it is a great replacement.
If you need an NOS C5ZZ one, I do have one available.-Fred-

In regards to spring compressors, Ford uses one that sits on top of the shock tower after the shock and bracket are removed. The threaded rod goes through a plate that is placed in the lower part of the spring. It has the same diameter as the spring with ridges to keep it from slipping. The spring is compressed from the top and then the spring saddle is removed from the control arm to extract the spring. These are really good at retaining the spring without slippage. I have seen these other than Ford but I do not know whether it was Snap On or some other company.

Dave, You need to post a picture of the exhaust if you want a correct answer.

Quentin, The radiator that you have is a three core radiator with a Ford part number of C6ZZ 8005 B. It is listed in the Ford master parts catalog as being for 66 Mustang with A/C produced before 1/5/ 66. This is shown in my much older catalog that has not been updated since 1970. The newer catalogs were in their final issue in 1975 and the part number is no longer in those later books. That radiator takes a special fan shroud with a part number oc C6ZZ 8146 A and it bolts directly to the radiator. It has a different shape due to the drastically different shape of the top tank. The first time I saw one of these radiators, I thought that it was an aftermarket until somebody pointed out the Ford engineering numbers on the side mounting strap. These were used in San Jose cars for sure and most likely in all assembly plants. I use them in all of my Kars even though they are technically incorrect for a Hipo because they really cool well in the California sunshine.

Welcome to the site, Mike. You will find a lot of helpful people here.

The Hipo Z bar is different on the lower arm to clear the exhaust that runs below it. The standard exhaust runs above the bar which does not create a clearance problem. If you look at the pictures in Tonys book, the difference is obvious. The lower arm makes an immediate bend to clear the pipe. The lower pin for the clutch linkage push rod is also on the opposite side of the arm from a standard bar.

Based on the following quote from the auction, the engine is possibly not a Hipo and at the very least, not the original based on the date code of the casting:
On Jun-04-10 at 06:21:15 PDT, seller added the following information:
I had my mechanic get the #'s off the engine and they are as follows:
C5AE-6015E 4M2

All 65 and 66 original floor pans have the dip behind the square shifter opening. It is where the backup light switch wires come through on a manual transmission. The Dynacorn floor pans do not have this dip. 67 and up manual transmission backup light wires were routed underneath and up the firewall so they do not have the dip.

Dave, I do not generally have Hipo fuel pumps available. I mostly just restore other peoples pumps. I do have excellent restored pumps that are acceptable clones as they appear the same as the Hipo on the car but are lacking the Hipo number and the second spring. Unless you are racing your Hipo, the second spring is not a factor.
Here are a couple of examples of my pumps on Ebay:
1965 style

1966/1967 style

Chuck, An NOS flywheel varies from .845 to .865 depending on where you measure it on the outer part of the face.

I have some bad news regarding my source for uncrimping and recrimping these pumps as they quit doing them. I saw this coming but was sad to see them quit. I do have good news as well, though. The previous source referred me to another local source and they are working with me in the same way as the past source. This means that I will still be able to continue restoring these pumps with the same results as before, at least for now. I am now gathering pumps for a fifth run. I have now done over 250 of them.

I have a left side dated 2-11-66 and a right side dated 2-14-66 if these will help. I have a few dated in 1965 as well. I sent you an email and a PM.
