     Just a note:  The M-6010-A460  Blocks have been discontinued, to be replaced by the M-6010-A460X block, with a current availability date of Dec. 31st (  maybe?     ).

     Scott.

Have they made design changes?

Well, with external oil drain backs, you can always use one of these.

Those heads would love more cubic inches to feed.

Something else that is now available is Progressive rate springs.

https://opentrackerracing.com/product/progressive-rate-small-block-coil-springs-1967-1973-mustang/

Description
These springs allow your Classic Mustang to take advantage of the latest suspension technology and perform more like a modern sports car. They really do give you the best of both worlds. A fairly stock smooth ride during normal driving, but as the springs compress under load (primarily during braking and cornering) they progressively become firmer very quickly to offer the handling characteristics similar to our 600 pound performance springs, but without sacrificing ride comfort. Made in the USA by a premier OEM supplier (for strictly race car applications we still recommend our Performance Springs). Our Progressive Rate Coil Springs feature: Hot wind from SAE5160H, oil quench, temper, water quench, shot peen, preset, 100% load test, ground flat and black powder coating.

Are they O-ringed heads?

Are you going to build a couple engines?

All things must come to an end - So as the sands of time fall though the hourglass, so shall this thread fall apart.

I see a couple of guys trying to help out. 

Hey,

I have a different question. Is the '67 registry going to be a stand alone publication or will it be shared with '65 and '66 cars like in the past?

Thanks, I don't know why these adds keep posting ViNs, but too much info 

The argument pops up on BaT auctions too.

There are many out there that don't believe these get cloned and passed as the original.

That would get you tared and feathered up here.

But it is cool...................to look at.

Amazing same home town as Bill, He purchased the car in the spring of 1967 through Cady & Pier dealership in Sandpoint, Idaho.  He drove on street 67 raced the 428 in 68 then, yes He put a 427 in car and drag raced it and ran pretty well. Do you know Bill now?

No, I am from Spokane, where McCollum Ford, the authorized dealer that sent #344 to Cady & Pier. I now live on the other side of the state.

But I was just in Sandpoint last weekend as I am looking to relocate to the area. Is Bill still around?

Hello 2112

I have talked with you before have 05 Ford GT, hope you are well, original owner car #344 Bill Benett, Sandpoint Idaho, He told me in summer 67 these Shelby's were very unique, so decked out and very cool, just nothing like them, people couldn't believe it when they saw it, now all cars have these features, biggest motor out there was a 390 in pony car, he ran 13"s in 1/4 at 104 stock 428. In 68 he put a 427 in it.

Steve

The story got even better. #344 and I have the same hometown. In fact, I bought my first "new" car from McCollum Ford, a 1991 F250.

Bill got that car running really well. Sounds like he made the most out his years of ownership.

Do you know the owner? How about the car #?

Incredibly cool picture and story.

Assuming that those are the tires on it during the fire, it is interesting how they escaped nearly unscathed.
