When I sourced my 65 intake I found out there isn’t a specific intake manifold for a HiPo. Just look for a date code appropriate 4 barrel manifold and you are good.

I am in the process of rebuilding my top loader right now, with the "assistance" of a qualified tech. We're at the tear down stage now waiting for the parts to arrive from David Kee Top Loaders. Tearing down wasn't too difficult. The main shaft bearing we set up a jig with blocks of wood and it came off fairly easy. If it didn't then we'd have rented a puller but we didn't need it.
One mistake I made was to order Kee's basic repair kit before we tore it apart. Had a couple gears with some excessive wear and now waiting for those parts to arrive. I should have tore it down before ordering anything. Saves freight and stand by time.
Kee's parts are all made in the USA so no issues wondering about that.
His kit comes with pretty good step by step instructions, and coupled with the factor service manual, we are fairly well covered.
If you just need bearings, gaskets, seals its a fairly inexpensive repair; if you need some gears, they run $100 and up each.
The biggest issue I am having is outside case finish. Without some type of treatment or cast paint, they flash rust immediately once it's stripped down and cleaned. It was rusting as I was cleaning the damn thing. It was painted black previously.
My tech buddy has rebuilt scores of transmissions, countershaft and planetary, so isn't having any difficulty. Could I have done it alone? Doubt it, not without some help in the technical dept.

I have the Shelby manifold S2MS 9424A with a Holley 4777 (650) manual choke, and FPA Tri-Y headers.
I have the 4100 carb too but I’ve only owned the car a few weeks now so haven’t had the 4100 on it to compare.
I do have a dyno sheet with this set-up if you’re interested.

New to me, #'s matching motor and transmission, and I believe the rear end. Some work to do but the bones are there.

I tried to deal on this car. I could not find anything to verify the engine was a K and moved on and bought elsewhere.
Wish I joined this forum prior to my search....it would have helped me considerably.

There is a lovely looking, but very pricey, '67 K code FB for sale in the Netherlands. No affiliation....I just stumbled across it on Instagram.
geevers.nl should get you there.

Thanks Fred! I'm looking forward to engaging with the group here.

Hi folks, new member here.
Just purchased a K code coupe and awaiting its arrival via the transport company. Sometime next month I am assuming.
Had a '65 A code FB over 4 decades ago, and happy to have another '65 on its way.
I'll post details, and all my annoying questions, upon arrival ...very soon I hope!
