  1. I don't think you have a 427 there. I saw a counterweight on the flex plate and the 427 was zero balance if you pull the heads check for 4.25 bore, 3.78 stroke to be sure.

  3. This surely takes me back! I actually bought a new 1967 Mustang convertible late in 1966. Ordered it with 390, 4 speed, 3.25 locker (which was 9") disk brakes, and power top. Thought it too tame, then a buddy and I thrashed on it for a long weekend, and installed a new 427 long block, which came with a solid lifter cam, lifters, adjustable rockers, push rods, and heads. I don't remember what the compression ratio was, but it liked Sunoco 260. Only hold up came when we went to put the valve covers from the 390 on, and found they wouldn't fit over the adjustable rockers. Had to make a quick trip into town for the right ones, which they actually had on the shelf, in chrome no less! Everything fit, even the exhaust manifolds, and yes, the last couple of plugs on the left were a pain to change. I bought a plug socket with a universal made on it, and used it with a long extension. The end result was a bit of a handful to drive around town with no power steering and sticky Firestone Wide Ovals! I think they were H70-14s. The trans was a 10 bolt top loader Ford, and the clutch was a Long type, and I think it was 12". I sold the car to a co-worker late in 1968. I heard later that he had topped a hill a might too quickly, and didn't have air brakes. RIP John.

  4. That looked like a very desirable car when it was new the deluxe interior was an option that was not seen on many Mustang GT cars, Most GT had the regular black dash inserts instead of the Aluminum! the roof and floor Counsils were also desirable. I owned a 1968 fastback back in the late 1960's wish i still had that car, the old trade it every 3 years thing replaced mine with a newer car.
