dam did u paint it urself it looks real nice... iam going to paint my 302 old ford blue, is the second pic that color???

Both pics are of the same engine, both Ford Blue (1st just looks ligher cuz of flash i guess). And no I didnt paint it, the shop where we had it bored, and balanced did. Smeding Performance in sacramento.
They sell that color paint though, I had to touch up a few spots.

Since it is a project car, the first thing I would pay attention to is the suspension and the brakes. Get those upgraded before you start worrying about the exhaust. But, since it is a 289, at least upgrade the single exhaust to a dual exhaust. I run an "X" pipe and I use Ravin mufflers. The Ravins give you a nice rumble at idle, and going through the gears, but can barely be heard at highway speeds. I like to listen to music at highway speeds, not the drone of the mufflers which is what the Flow Master's give you. But, I am an old man, so what do I know. :D

thx for the info about the suspension, breaks, and exhaust Soaring. ya exhaust will probably be after suspension, breaks, body work etc.
ya i'd really like to put duals on her. thx

what engine and year model is your Soaring??

As you can see by the sig pic, it is a 65. I also have a 289. Lol on the original AM radio. I also have that, and the static won't let me get much reception since I live in west Texas where the distance between stations causes this effect. :D
I put in a CD stereo, and I placed the thing in the glove box with all the wires running to the front door and back package tray speakers.

Probobly not. This car is pretty much a restoration. Almost everything has been restored to original factory condition. We have in shows occasionally. The only modern thing on it is an elctronic choke.

that's awesome. with mine my dad wants to turn it into a hot rod. u know put the big tires in back and rebuild the engine with performance stuff.:D

If his pockets are that deep, then go for it. :D

lol, yell we wont make it that extensive but he wants to rebuild the engine and bore it out into a 302, put a cam in it, headers,etc. it will prolly be more like a show car with a chrome engine and all. we prolly wont drag race it.

why not just get a 302??? there a dime a dozen at the Jyard[sm=smiley1.gif]

i dunno it just semms like it would be more fun to work onm nthe 289 then to buy a different engine.

It's a 65 with a 289.

If you're having a hard time finding a fastback Mustang, go to Missoula Montana. When I was in highschool, I lived there. During my junior year in high school, I bought a 68 coupe. Which was hard to find there. The reason I got the coupe was because Fastbacks were like a**holes. EVERYBODY has one. It wasn't until I moved from Missoula that I realized just how hard those fastbacks are to find. When I get ready to get another one, I'm going to Missoula to buy one. And then bring it to Boise. It's like finding a coupe anywhere else, so they're relatively cheap there. And then when I get it here, it will be rare.
