I have found various info on K code engines in Mercury Comets. One source shows a K code Comet to be the same as an A code Mustang with a 225 HP engine. Another source shows 64 and 65 Comets with the 271 Hp engine. If the Comets had a 271 HP engine, isn't it pretty much the same as the K engine in a Mustang?
Answers to my question would really be appreciated.
I am cleaning up a set of these wheelcovers & would like to know the exact paint on the center around the simulated bolts. It appears to be argent but is a little lighter. I would appreciate anyone sharing their knowledge.

Someone near Charlotte, NC has a lot of mustang & ford parts including Boss 302 and Boss 429. Check it out on Craigslist in Charlotte or Winston-Salem. Also has a Boss 302 for sale. Also old Mustang drag car.
Would you consider registering your really nice looking Koupe on our web site?
I have the plate with the clock stem on it from an early rally pac clock. Don't know it it would work on an after market rally pac. If you think it will, give me your e mail & I'll send you some pictures.

I posted my question to get a rough idea of what a bare block with the main caps was worth because I was going to look at one that I had heard about. I don't know if the VIN is stamped on it or not.
I admit I have very little specific knowledge about K's. Could someone please tell me how to determine that the main caps go with that particular block?
Thanks,
What is the approximate value of a 65 hipo block with all main caps 7 nothing else?
Thanks
Thanks. I was confused about the dimensions on the weld near the center section versus the step down at the bearing end.
I am going to look at a 9" rear end in a 1965 mustang & would like for someone to help me with a few questions.
1. What is the overall width?
2. Do all of them have the "step downs"? I was under the impression that some did not have them.
The registration number seems to be stuck on 1727. It would be nice if we could develop a form letter that could be downloaded & sent to every K owner who may or may not be registered on the HIPO Site.
There seems to be a number of K's for sale on EBay, car magazines, and other sources of information.
Just a thought. I believe we could get a strong increase in our registered numbers.
There is a C5OF-J carb on E Bay now. Rebuilt from Pony Carbs.
About $150 with 6 days to go. Good luck.
The web site is http://www.bradpennracing.com. Many of their oils contain the ZDDP antiwear additives.
At last month's Greensboro, NC Mustang Club meeting, a factory rep discussed the BradPenn line of motor oils. Their racing oils and a new blend of high performance oils have the ingrediants that many of the modern oils do not have.
you can find the screw covers on several 60's fords & mercurys. A Comet with the fancy trim on the rear fenders has a lot of them in the trunk. Also a Falcon wagon has a lot of them.
Sometimes vendord with trim and other small parts will have a limited number of them.
Try JJ's Mustang in Chattanooga, Tenn. for what you are looking for in a Rally Pac. He had one a while back.
