The engine is a 69 350 bored 30 over, trying to figure out what to do for fuel delivery now.

Have a power steering bracket from Captainfab.

Pulleys and brackets are from a 72 Chevy pickup.

Later model SI type alternator.

Going to install an electric fan and put the temp probe in the thermostat housing I picked up that has a threaded hole in the top of it.

4 core brass radiator and running a short water pump.

Have all new reproduction wiring harnesses.

The hole in the drivers door is part of the 65 mustangs floor. The door was bashed in so I was trying to use what I had.

The mustang was built for my son then last year he wanted to be married and had no money so he sold it back to me.
