Thanks for the welcome
I should have said A scratch blocks with reinforced web were dated Nov 66 through May 67 NOT 7B-7E.
Misquoting my own printed data. ::) it's all down hill from here  :)

A scratch blocks with triple web were cast 7B-7E. Prior dated 428 castings are single web A scratch and castings dated after were C scratch continuing with triple web.
The Craigslist block is pre reinforced crank saddle (triple web)

There was one all Fiberglas AFX Falcon built by DST as well. Old for sale ad attached. If anyone is interested there is material to research no real mystery in the Falcon community.

Have not read the links attached above but  Teachers Pet is the most recognized of the 7. We had a discussion on the Boss forum here. http://www.boss302.com/smf/index.php?topic=60572.msg396942#msg396942

Chris, you must know Mark Willliamson in Ottawa with the Motown Missile. He is an owner and has kept the info up to date on these cars. My info from 7 yrs ago likely needs revision.
The TFFN Falcon News is the best site for info but Hot Rod, SuperFord Motors, Hemmings and Facebook all have discussions on the cars. I was interested in them when I had my Sprint in the 90's

It holds the windlace on the side of the dash and attaches by screw in the jamb.

If CrossBoss Scott's car is an original 4 speed it came standard with a 6K tach and will not be called out as an extra cost option. Same goes for a 390 car but both could be optioned with an 8K and in this case will be called out. There is also some speculation that 6K were substituted with 8K but need more reports and invoices on that point. He also has a 9 inch rear end and that was GT specific. Drop the GT pack and the J code is back to a small 8 rear for a Mustang.

You do not want a radiator from Modine with the engineering prefix stamped on the side strap if that is the location you are referencing. These are not for San Jose plant cars.
Side strap rads below all have different physical dimensions ZE shortest
ZE Mustang/Cougar
OE Midsize Fairlane/Comet
AE Fullsize Galaxie/Meteor
