If its a K code , it should already have disc brakes.

If it is a K code Maybe a previous owner removed the disc brakes and installed drums? but why?

The Kars only had disc brakes as standard if they were a GT. All other Kars had drum brakes unless they ordered them as a separate option. One of my Kars is a drum brake Kar and I have seen many others with drum brakes. The first time that I saw a Kar with drum brakes my thoughts were the same as yours.

Hi Fred, regarding the D stamped manual disc brake pedal which has a lower position stud on it vs drum brake pedal ,would it still use a standard strait master cylinder push rod thanks

I have not seen any weld or seam in a ring gear not to say some did not, the issue i had on a 70 boss 302 was the ring gear started slipping on the flywheel i noticed that the engine was turning over much slower than normal when cranking along with a grinding sound, the ring gear actually cut into the flywheel much like a lathe would, metal filings were found inside the bellhousing from it i had to replace the flywheel as a replacement ring was to loose a fit.

Thank you Dan there is a flywheel listed on e bay that looks like it has a crack in the ring gear . i once had a ring gear with a small crack just enough to make it slip on the flywheel when starting the engine, it sounded like a bad starter grinding

Were the ring gears on a 289 manual trans flywheel cast iron or forged steel

K code mustang parts going to Ford Carlisle spot L99 (NOS H pipe 1100) (set of 8 K code pistons withe the early oiling hole in the rods 900) (nice used K code camshaft 200)

I found the info on the H pipes in Bob Mannels book thank you Bob.

What are the correct part numbers and tags for NOS 64-67 mustang 289 K code exhaust H pipes i have read that the locating tabs are in different locations on 67 H pipes thanks.

Did you locate the lower leafs you were looking for

I do not have any information on the block ownership but i might have worded the post differently as not to offend the owner of the 6FO9K mustang who ever that might be.

You might want to ask if the owner of the car the block came from originally to contact you .

Do you have information to share on ownership? If not, that is why I am posting here so if anyone is looking for this vin they know to contact me.

Wow that is a really interesting story rare Kar is it a manual 4 speed or automatic it sure would have enough power to tow a boat or anything else put behind it what rear gear is in it.

Bob i purchased your book 20 years ago and have used it faithfully through the years its great that you have put together the pdf version also. your 63 fairlane is sweet i was not aware a 4 dr K code 289 fairlane was available in 63, will you be a ford Carlisle this year with your club. best regards , chuck.

Nice looking car dont see that color of blue to often ,one thing i noticed was the door data plate date code of 5 K which is the month of October 5th day and the seller paperwork shown states it as an October 1965 built car, should it be stated a 5 ,10, 1964 built car .

e bay seller (sixspd) located in Australia a restamped 4201S rebuilt by the same seller in Australia.

The seller has it listed as a build date of September 7 1964 which is incorrect it should state sept 7 1974 as it is a Motorcraft and not FoMoCo unit.

Where are you located.

Im in western ny near Lake Erie i see you are in the west coast im getting close to locating one locally thanks for asking.

Looking for a clean & strait 65 66 original L/F mustang fender

Nice looking car. interesting that it has a 5 bolt bell housing and trans from another K code but has a C8ZE replacement balancer and no block vin stamping shown in the pictures .it would be worth an inspection before purchase.
