Can someone please tell me what kind of mustang I have?
Hello, I just embarked on restoring a mustang engine (my first engine
restoration project) and have run into a snag. The engine was pulled from a 1966 body; however the code on the block says "C8", and I was told this means that it is a 1968. However, my engine only has 4 main bearings, which my research has indicated that this would make it a 170ci engine, something only made up to 1966. Does anyone have any insight? |

According to popular knowledge, your car came with a 7 main engine and the latest 4 main six I could find, supposedly ended in 67. And that was the Aussie version http://home.cfl.rr.com/mustangsix/En...ussiesixes.htm You should be able to find the proper engine if you look around a little. Note also the aftermarket stuff available to get more performance.. http://tinyurl.com/5wcev -- - Yes, I'm a crusty old geezer curmudgeon.. deal with it! - |
