  • 67 K's as featured cover on Mustang Monthly

    It's finally a done deal...after 4 long years!


    My 67K GT and a friend's 67K GTA recently completed rotisserie restoration as joint cover cars on Mustang Monthly. I have not yet got my copy...though August's edition should be on the newsstand and in the mailbox any day now.


    It's so exciting to have my dream K-code back home and featured on the cover of two magazines...all in the same month! It's quite overwhelming right now, more later...:)

  • Wanted: 7C or 7D dated Hipo Heads

    I do not believe a 7C or 7D dated castings ever existed.

    The only C7ZE castings I've seen were: 6M22, 7B3 then 7E8.

    Any other dates I have not seen nor heard of...seems there would more casting dates considering the needs...1175(GT350s) + 489(K-code Mustangs) + service replacements!

  • wanted 289 hipo engine

    Quote from wm65

    Are you looking for a complete hipo engine or a block to rebuild. I just passed on a standard bore,I believe 7C date 289 block.


    Can you let be know if this is still available? I'm in NorCal...where RU and where is the 7C block?

  • Engine assembly date

    Quote from 67KBob

    =O What a pic!...Illusions of Manhattan at 5000ft first came to mind...then reality...and a big WOW!


    BTW...the same block assembly date was stamped on the machined oil pan rail surface near the oil pump on my 67K...though in much smaller size.

  • Original Tires for 67K w/Comp.Susp.?

    Quentin...Yes, I have pics of the wheels and many other pics to share with you and all...I just need to follow your recent steps for pic sharing. Sooner or later I will release all my pics about my car with everyone here. There appears to be sooo many correct and original pieces to the car...I am very excited about it all!


    Yes, I would like to see the Gabriel shock pics.


    Does your Comp.Susp. 67K include the "welded washer" re-inforced front shock tower bracket? I have seen them on a lot of 67 Shelbys, though no all...

  • Original Tires for 67K w/Comp.Susp.?

    Any thoughts or proof of the actual tire that came on the 67K if assembled with the optional "6.70X15-4 Ply Rated 170MPH Black Sidewall Tire" (as per the Marti Report)??????


    All 5 of my wheels are stamped "15X6" with the circle "Kelsey Hayes" logo and dated coded 1 to 2 months prior to the final assembly. I have no reason to believe these are not the original wheels.


    I think that perhaps the tire would have been the same "Goodyear Speedway 350" that came on the 67 Shelbys.


    Also listed on the Marti Report is "Competition Suspension". This is what I would interpret as the identical suspension found on the 67 GT350 Shelby.


    Any input or discussion welcomed...:)


    Bob (...and another K-code nearing full resurrection)

  • 67 Build Sheet

    Quote from 429scott

    Here is a pic from the build sheet. Thanks Scott


    If some can tell me how to upload pics to a post then I have a great pic of a COMPLETE and readable build sheet for a 7T02K to share with all...


    The front spring reads: YELVIOL

    rear spring reads: ORGPN

  • 1967 k code tach and speedo

    My 15E Milpitas/San Jose built 67K GT has the 120mph speed-o-meter with odometer and the 6K tach (no red-line). I have NO reason to believe that this was not the the original setup from the factory! A build sheet that I have seen for a "7T02" K indicates "X" for the tachometer without regard to 6K or 8K. I personally think that since so few 67K Mustangs came down the same San Jose assembly line as the 1,175 Shelby destined K's, that the 8K tachs were not always available...hence, mine and perhaps many other "7R0x" K's were assembled with the more common 6K versions.


    Again, there were both 6K and 8K, as well as the 120mph and 140mph speed-o-meters in the 67Ks.


    Can any owners of Dearborn or Metuchen 67Ks report having the 120mph/6K versions?

    Jon...Done....Thanks!


    Quote from marv

    I have a set of Thermactor castings. I will have to check the date codes. If I remember right, they were not date matched.


    Marv...This could be my best option to date...Let me know the dates...It may be better than a pair of circa '70's C8ZE service heads...Thanks...Bob

  • 1967 HiPo engine change levels

    My 67K is a Marti verified "Exhaust Emission Control"...(aka: thermactor/air-pump) K-code. Block cast date 7E1. Block assembly stamps: 7E5 (timing chain cover boss) and 7E4 (oil pan mating surface, by the oil pump).


    The original engine ID tag reads:


    289 C 67 14

    7-E E 245-B


    289=Engine C.I.D.

    C=Cleveland engine plant code

    67=Model Year

    14=Engineering Change Level

    7-E=Year-Month of Production (May 1967)

    E=??? (May???)

    245-B=Engine Code Number (289 Hi-Performance)

  • IN SEARCH OF...C7ZE Thermactor Heads !!!

    Can ANYONE help me Please?


    NOW is my last chance to locate a pair of 67K THERMACTOR heads (with a prior 7E1 cast date) before my 67K engine goes to the machine shop! This car has been Marti verified as 1 of 14 67K "Exhaust Emission Control" Mustangs produced (excluding 67 GT350s).


    Anyway...the rest of car is coming along great and now it's time for the engine. I would prefer to locate the correct heads NOW vs. later to avoid a future engine teardown/replacement, if I ever find a pair.


    This car when complete will likely be one of the best original examples and certianly one of the rarest of all K's.


    All leads and assistance would be greatly appreciated!


    Thanks...Bob
