Hey John,
Sweet ride,What flat black paint did you use? Came out great. Now for the T-5. I've had one built for 5 years and have not used it yet. Every thing in side is new. T-5 out of a 5.0 mustang with the S-10 conv. Same way with my 70's Mav.- Comet 8" Fixing to cut one down to 55 3/4 or 55 1/2 so it will be ready when i find the right round body Ranchero to put it in.
Wish you wern"t so far away, i would come up for the work day.

Keep up the good work:

I had a 62 for my shop truck - 200" six with a C4, Mustang II front end

 

The flat is a Semi-Gloss "Hot Rod" BLACK urethane, my body man Otis gets it out of a company out of Louisville, Ky I'll have to get the name...90 dollars, paint, hardner and thinner....Now have it back with the tonno cover.....T5 Terry...puddinhead has tore apart, needs a few small parts, he is doing it now..hope we have it ready, or will have to back up a week putting the T5 in....

 

I've got mine on deck right now, also a '62. I've got a rebuilt 170 and spent a large portion of the hot part of last summer working out the details on an adapter for a B.W. T-50 five speed with John Evans from here on the board. I have collected a full batch of Weber ICT carbs for a tri power set up as well. I had to do some floor replacement and general rust repair, but it's not too bad as it sits now. I'm chomping at the bit to get back into it as soon as I finish the girlfriends '62 wagon... We're going to beat the high cost of gasoline and have fun doing it!

 

Hey Don!
I loved your truck when I saw it at LARS a few years ago and took several pictures at the time. I hate to ask more questions of you, but what oil pan did you run on your 200 with the MustangII? I'm assuming a Fox body pan, but any mods beyond that? Any chance you remember tire sizes on yours? Thanks, Chip Quinn

 

Pulled the 170 Out and gonna clean and paint it all be re-installed Sunday....Gotta get back to work....

Cool Racist Comment!!!

 

ahhhh....he is mexican.....call him a white boy and he gets mad....smart kid, and he's the only one who want to learn these tricks from this old dog...so nice comment, considering you didn't read, or follow the rules about a introduction, but I am glad you have made all two of your posts here on the site, you do learn alot, even me...a old dog...

 

Old Knocking motor out...Thanks again Grady Moore of Lexington, Ky.....

and new old motor going in.....

 

Looks good FW62!

I've like these ever since I saw my first one in the movie "Goldfinger" when Oddjob crammed his big ass into one.

 

Motor in, Trans in, Crossmember IN, NEW drive shaft IN...now back to work, I wanna drive this beast....
now to hook up all the little stuff..maybe fire it up tomorrow....

 

that set up looks awesome! How is the install of the tri power intake? Did you need a machinist to mill the head? or can you diy the new ports? I have a 200 in the corner of my shop that will eventually drop in my stock 61. thanks

 

Mill the height and will make it even run better, installing the intake, takes some skills, but the head needs to be off, you use a hole saw to cut into the intake log, plunging in with an endmill would be alot easier, but if your careful, you can do it with ease....uses THICK O-rings to seal the intake to the fuel log....

 

Cool thanks, I'm going to keep my eye out for one of these intakes. Good looking 'chero

 

Spent some cash, bought the three air cleaners, a fuel block and some Red Mr. Rodster fuel line, got a few hours to work on it, I sell Industrial Saw blades for a living, and the last month, sale up over 40% so car time has been few and far between.....(

 

What in all did it entail to adapt the T5? It is looking great. Keep it up!

 

Easy as pie... And 175 bucks to modern drive line, buy the adapter, it all bolts together...

 

FUEL LINES FOR ALL!!!!

Got some shop time, hope to have it running by the weekend....
