Wasn't there like one 67 Fastback with a 427 side oiler made? I'm thinking I would like that car.

And on that note...the 67 GT500 Super Snake.

the engine would be worth the same as any K-code engine. I doubt that the original car will be found if not already known to the SAAC registrar.

Z.

Unregistered cars are out there. There is a guy with a 66 GT350H less than 5 miles from me. AFAIK he has never sent his info to SAAC and didn't seem interested in doing so.

As the owner of a '66 GT350 that is missing its original motor, I would be very interested in seeing some type of K engine registry that shows orphaned/misplaced engines. If one exists, please let me know how to access it.

I am in the same boat as Jerry. 66 GT350 with missing original block. Mine was supposedly blown up. Currently have a 65 K stamped San Jose block that will be coming out this winter. Supposedly from a 65 GT350

Me three. The original engine in my 66 GT350 was blown during a SCCA road race in Seattle in 1973. The block and two rods were toast, all other HiPo/Shelby parts were OK. The owner at the time bought a D1ZE Boss 302 service block and rebuilt the engine to get back racing ASAP, that block is still in the car today. He made no attempt to save the block and doesn't remember what happened to it.

If anyone has, or knows of, a 66 VIN stamped block with a hole (or sleeve) in one cylinder please let me know.

Thanks,

Dave

Worked for me. Great pics, thanks Brant.

Is there a VIN stamped on the block? Thanks.

Nice ET, do you know if the original owner made any changes to the engine for drag racing?

Not sure if this would cause the symptoms you're describing but...have you checked the linkage adjustment?

Just received an order from VA Mustang which included a set of these kick panels. They are simply fantastic, a HUGE improvement over what was previously available. Thanks Brant!

s2ms · Tire Recommendations? s2ms September 29, 2010 at 11:12 AM

I just went through this. You choices are VERY limited in a 14" tire. I strongly considered the BFG Traction T/A ZRay recommends but in the end wanted a slightly wider tire so went with the standard BFG Radial T/A, 205/70R/14, you have more size choices with these. Other than those two the Cooper Cobra is still available in several 14" sizes.

When the original engine in my 66 GT350 blew during a road race in 1973 the crank was spared, only the block was toast. <img src=images/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

The owner at the time had it turned 30/20, rebulit the engine using a Boss 302 D1ZE service block, and continued to race for 5 more years routinely shifting at 7000 RPM.

NPD does have a "concours correct" repop fan shroud with the rubber shield, part number 8146-1B. Don't know how accurate it is since I've never seen one....

s2ms · Iowa's 5F09K project s2ms September 22, 2010 at 2:05 PM

If you don't mind not having a Ford clutch I would recommend a Centerforce. A stronger setup IMO with less pedal pressure. Don't think I'll ever use anything else.

I agree with the other comments. I've shipped to Germany, Australia, and UK using USPS flat rate boxes and never had a problem.

s2ms · FAN SHROUD s2ms September 16, 2010 at 11:22 AM

According to the MPC that is the correct number.

It is difficult to believe that we are going to start a new project right after this one, but it may be even more fun.

Well, I am particularly interested in your next project...<img src=images/icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

probably a dumb Q

but why did some cars have one

and others did not?

iowa

Some (all?) later service replacements did not have a drain.
