This might be an option for the Motorcraft FL1HP, per Ford Performance

The early cars (1967s) had Ford: Stock Complete 289hp, Top Loader Transmission, and 8 Inch Rear Axle Assys. So that part is bulletproof.
The other components I can't speak for. It does have a hybrid mixture of parts from many different manufacturers as I recall. Somewhat difficult to source..
The body being all steel is prone to rust, especially the rocker area.

Used the Torino name in some of the paperwork and badging. 
I believe later cars had 351s

Here's a couple photos that might help.

Searching for an NOS later production (smooth side marker panel).
Red Oxide is preferred.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Convertible panel might be considered, but prefer coupe body style.

Thank you
Fran

Sourced. Thank you for all the assistance!

I'm getting ready to send out my drive shaft for restoration.
    -  Replace the tube & restore what I believe to be the original u-joints.

Did Ford typically install the balance weights at a certain distance from the ends?
    - I included photos of my crusty drive shaft assy. 
        - Shows 2 weights at the yoke end, and then 1 weight at the rear end u-joint.

There are still small amounts of the original paint markings.  (Orange, violet)
Originally appears to be correct, based on my knowledge.

Thoughts/Comments appreciated.
Thanks
Fran

Interested in understanding production line paint markings.

I observed many markings on the rear housing after doing a basic clean and external inspection of the assy from my car.
Is there a general understanding of what job aid, or production line process step these refer to ?

The center section has the typical orange and yellow paint color markings. (photo attached)

The axle housing has:
- blue paint lines at the brake line junction block and axle vent hose coupling (photo attached)
- yellow wide paint marking on the passenger side, by the brake backing plate (photo attached)
- yellow "X" paint marking where the 2 brakes lines meet. (photo attached)
- light yellow paint marking at the drivers side end, near the brake baking plate. (photo attached)
- white marking on the center section rear of housing. I'm not sure if that is a number? (photo attached)
- orange paint marking (line) near the brake junction block. (photo attached)

Sorry, I can only attach 4 photos.
Others available on request. 

I'd be interested to hear from folks that can explain these.
I'm guessing that these are typical of what is found on other rear axle housing assemblies.
Thank you!

Date  8 G 11 1 (July 11th 1st shift)
There are two paint markings on my pump.
(Blue and Orange?
The blue paint mark looks more like overspray.
The orange (or similar color) is more like a brush on mark across the Mfg stamping date.

I believe this pump is original to the car.
I want to put these markings back on the unit as part of the restoration.
Are these markings consistent with late July built cars?

Thank you

Fran

Thank you for confirming this as being correct.
I haven't found a quality source that has the correct hardware kit yet.

I could reuse (restore)these springs with everything else being new US metal springs, but would rather use an all new correct US metal spring kit

Is there such a source?
