Ok so i know it isnt a fox, but it is still a ford. A gentelman i sell parts too comes up to me at napa and as i am the resident ford guy asks me where he can find a high performance 390 big block and a six speed manual to go into a 69 or 70 mach 1 mustang. I started talking about the internet and our rebuilt engine manufacturers, thinking this guy cant be serious. So two hours later i realize he's seriuous and i've called everybody i can while im at work and am still coming up with bupkis. Help me out guys plz. I need phone numbers, websites, whatever i can get.
The 390 should be easy. Finding a six speed to bolt up to it may prove a bit more challenging (or impossible)
Dammit! Just the other day I read in a magazine about a company that makes custom transmissions...for nearly anything you can think up...
Probably pricey as all-get-out, but if the old fella has a '69 Mach 1, I doubt much it'd faze him..
Wish I could remember where I read it at..
Well, it wasn't in MM&FF, but I swear to gawd I read some article very recently about custom transmissions...hell, it mighta just been custom gears, but i DID read somethin...
Oh and a fuel injection system to sit atop that 390
Holley makes a TBI-style stand-alone EFI system called Pro-Jection that bolts onto any 4-bbl intake manifold. If the guy wants port fuel injection he'll have to have "bungs" welded into an existing manifold for the fuel injectors, and he'll have to come up with some sort of EFI-compatible distributor.
