My 1967 ford mustang restoration (so far)

i just got a 1967 mustang floor pans are gone alone with the fender aprons ( rust sucks) i have big plans for the car. A 400 horse 302 small block which i will have boared to a 347 or i will use AFR heads they give you 100 HP out of the Box!!!!!! i will paint it dupont pepper gray metalic and use either black stock inerior or go with the black shelby interior by the way its a coupe. if anyone has pics of any car restoration or questions for me post them here (post some stang pics plz) i have been resoring mustangs for a while now.

You think heads will give you 100hp without any other mods??? I'll have to check that, but it seems WAY optimistic to me. Also, 302's give 290hp/290lb-ft stock. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'd just be suprised if you could get that much just from heads and a little boaring. Any pics?

The heads will give 100 with the help of new rockers and a 27 degree over stock cam i found the artice titled 400 HP ON PUMP GAS when i did a google search of ford 302 you can read the article by searchig 400 hp on pump gas it was written by the folks at car craft i belive. Sorry i have no picks YET!!!!!

Hehe Southern California...what's RUST
A 400 HP 302 would be a piece of cake. Running it on pump gas and keeping it naturaly asparated is the tough part.
Would be easer and cooler and cheeper if it were a Bow Tie
There are way too many F.O.R.D jokes!

I got most of my parts from either mustangs plus or mustangs unlimited (they both have websites) you can request a catalog from both companys
they both carry almost everything. I do have to replace a quarter pannel skin thanks for reminding me i will buy it from mustangs plus and weld it on then its off to paint. By the way i got almost all of my engine parts from summit they are great as well

That looks AWESOME. Why can't my dad have something like that for me and him to work on? (although my uncle has a hot rod, so it isn't all bad)

In some ways (the part about it being fast, but not pretty), it reminds me of my uncle's first (or second, I can't remember) car: an AMC Gremlin X (with a V-8). Should be interesting, though.

If you have trouble getting your pix small enough to post, I use the Kodak program to re-size my pix. You can download it free off their site.
I kind of know hwat you're going through with the 'stang resto. My brother had a 64-1/2 as his first car and got a '65 rag top that he restored to be a driver, not a Concours ride. Try to find an exhaust manifold for the 6-banger! They had a big problem with them cracking. Those cars are gone but he now has an 2007 Shelby on order. It looks like his 'Vette's are going too. Poor kid has 2 of those.
Chris, I had a '73 Gremlin X that I bought new. Not fast with the 235 but with the light rear-end, that thing sure could smoke the L-60's on the back!

Yep. My uncle's a mechanic, and he actually modified his to be fast. He could smoke my dad off the line (my dad was driving his modded '70 340 'cuda)
