I'm pretty sure it's all history.  He was an older man, probably in his 70's. and it was in the 80's.  I was only a couple hours away but never made the drive, hindsight!  That Mustang, as great as a buy it would have been, was 1/2 of the price I paid for the house I had just bought.  The blocks were a steal!

1965 GT350/R-Model / 65 GT350 at Bonneville

Just curious...when I was assembling my 64 K code Fairlane I was in search of a correct date coded block.  I had contacted an elderly gentleman around the Lansing Michigan area that had a ton of hipo parts (around 1985).  He stated he had several GT40 289 motors as well as a 65 GT 350 that had held a record at the Bonneville Salt Flats.  He stated it still had all the lettering and is as it was when raced.  He wanted 3,000 for the GT40's and $15,000 for the Mustang.  After all these years I'm just curious if anyone knows if of a GT350 that ran at the flats.  Wish I could turn back the clock.  Terry

Hi, Are you looking for an S2MS or S7MS intake?  Thermactor  or non thermactor heads?  What date on the heads?  I have a 67 engine I'm probably going to part out.  Let me know what date your looking for, I might have a lot of the parts you need.  Terry in Michigan

Thanks, that's what I had thought, just didn't want to misrepresent them.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Identifying 67 valve covers
June 06, 2022, 08:23:35 PM
I have a pair of covers off a 67 I purchased a long time ago.  Not sure if they are original or reproduction.  They are not "Buddy bar".  I've included a couple photos.  The oil baffles have also been removed.

Any ideas on the stamping on this pump, taken off a 67 hipo block?

64 hipo balancer for sale.  The date code was discussed on this forum if you search it, most likely H4 but unknown for sure.  No hammer marks, slight pitting on some areas. Small area appears ground away on backside, see photo.  $525 shipped in lower 48.

Thermactor or not?

I have had this balancer since the 60's.  It was on an early hipo Fairlane.  It's a C5OE balancer.  Help with the date code stamp?  It looks like I4, but Ford did not use "I" for their dating.  I don't find any other stamping on the balancer.  Thanks

It's probably been 5-6 years since I posted a photo of this 67 block.  It's kind of a mystery, but always hoped someone might know it's origin.  Thought I'd try it again.  Came out of a street rod about 15 years ago.  Had S7MS intake, cobra valve covers, 6M22 heads, LeMans camshaft, all hipo internals, hipo pump (water), distributor, everything pretty much date matched.  The block's cast date was ground off and the block was stamped on the boss next to the water pump (see photo's).  I had papers with it dating back to machine work in the early 90's but no help.  7B14 machine date, 7B15 assembly date.  Maybe someone recognize the stamping?

Are you looking for a single 67 hipo head?  Disregard, I see your looking for a non-smog head, this is dated 6M22 and is a plugged thermactor head.
