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! |

Where are you getting all your parts??? Do you have to do any door skins or rear quarter panels??

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 |

Heres my other baby.
1981 coupe. She go wider tires since this pic and shes getting a V-8 this summer and some new interior and hopefully a paint job. Not a real pretty car but will be fast. I'm also going to stick with the orange |

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)
