Here is a picture of how my dipstick is mounted but I don't think my engine is out of a '68. Back where the VIN is supposed to be stamped on the flat spot behind the intake there is no flat spot. That area is recessed so it's probably not a '68 289.

Here are the Mustang numbers from the website Steve posted 1964 Ford Mustang (289ci V8 w/4spd) 7.5 15.7 1966 Ford Mustang (289ci V8 Auto) 10.9 17.9 1967 Ford Mustang (390ci V8 w/4spd) 7.4 15.6 1971 Ford Mustang (351ci V8 w/4spd) 5.8 13.8 1973 Ford Mustang 351ci 8.9 16.3 1974 Ford Mustang II 4sp...

Probably a mute point given the compression is decent. If it smokes a lot at start up then smokes less when you drive it the problem is usually valve seals or guides. I've always been told that rebuilding only the heads is risky because the increased pressure created by the good heads can...

I agree. It's not high on my list either but for those who enjoy building models this might be a good option

Here is a kit to change a 1/25 scale '68 Shelby to a GT/CS http://www.rndunique.com/rnd_displayitem.cfm?pk=288

I'll take a shot at a few of the questions. First is a Manual transmission really that rare? As i am looking at getting a car but all the ones that i have seen are all automatics. Manual transmission cars are fairly rare. Maybe Paul will have those numbers in his new book. Second i have...

Here are a few random thoughts. There is a way to tell if only 1 cylinder is smoking. Disconnect a plug wire and see if the smoke stops. Since it happened so suddenly my 1st thought was a blown up valve seal. Those umbrella seals tend to get brittle and sometimes simply explode all over the...

Casey, what were the compression readings, and how many miles are on the rings? The 2nd plug from the left looks wet (oil covered), does that cylinder have the lowest compression?

Sadly, I can relate to many of those!
