If anyone is interested, the Nov 2006 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines has an article on the 1968 Cougar GT-E. David

Arlie, check out http://www.heartlandenginebuilders.com/ This is who I purchased my 393 stroker from via the internet. Feel free to PM me and I can give you more details about them and purchasing from a non local engine builder. David

I have pulled my tranny and run my engine. It might depend on the type or year or your transmission. I have a C4 and had to unbolt and leave the bellhousing on so that the starter could be used. I had a similar situation trying to diagnose a rattle. I was sure it was the flexplate, turned...

Congratulations on the award! Car looks great. I am partial to Candyapple Red and Black stripes (same as mine!!). I really like the way the wheels look also! david

Mine weighed in at 2,900 last year during race season. Most drag strips have a weight station. david

Jeff, I pulled my 302 and went with a 393 stroker. No substitute for cubic inches! Converting to a Windsor block was pretty easy, bolts right in. Main issue is dealing with PS, Alternator and Headers. All easily surmountable. Good luck and enjoy your new engine! david

Jon, When looking at threads in the forum and select on last post, it takes you to the top of the thread vs the last post. good luck with the bugs. david

Seems it did not go up for auction. Carroll Shelby was there though (helping sell what used to be his personal 427 Cobra...$5.5M). When I had the opportunity to speak with him at the Shelby Museum over Christmas, I mentioned that the Green Hornet was going to be sold at BJ. He said he was not...

Here is some info that might be useful: http://www.classicmustang.com/casting_numbers.htm david

Interesting stuff. I am in Colorado and am SHOCKED that there are 43. These are only 68's right, no 66 or 67 HCS's? Bob and other Coloradians, sounds like we need to have our own local BBQ and get together!! david

I went the media blast way when I pulled my engine. Very happy with the results. You need to keep in mind that if you do have the engine compartment media blasted, you never know what you might find (previously repaired damage, rust, etc) and repairs could add up. Good luck with which ever...

Me and my new best friend! That is me on the right, the short one. Got to meet Carroll Shelby last night at a Holiday party to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Shelby American Collection Museum in Boulder, Co.

I gave up looking for one based upon the same reasons Arlie mentioned in his response. There are quite a lot of individual pieces. You will also need longer radio knobs, which I do not believe are reproduced either. david

There is a Mustang shop in Denver called Colorado Mustang Specialists (303 343-7024). Dan, the owner, has one of the largest, if not the largest, Mustang wrecking yards. I purchased a decent used one for around $150. When you call ask for Pat (5280 GTCS). david

That was too funny!

The Shelby's had a similar cluster (w/ 140MPH speedo) but had guages in the console to offset the warning lights for oil pressure, etc. Was anything done for oil pressure on the non Shelby cars with tach's? Seems dangerous not having an oil pressure gauge. david

Oops, reading too fast, sorry. I think this has been discussed before. You might want to use the search button and see what is out there. david

Forgot to upload the attachment. david

I just re-did my interior, replacing the carpet, seat covers, dash, etc. My car is candyapple red. I am not the original owner, but everything appeared original. Hope this helps. BTW, I have no idea what the 5 on the floor pan represents. david

I built mine to race at Bandimere Raceway in Denver, CO. It is a HCS with a 351W stroked to 393. Not been to the dyno yet, but expecting that it is putting out about 450HP and 500LBS of torque at the flywheel. Still working on the set up, but I expect it to easily run in the 13's at our high...
