I'm not going to put the "GT200S" on sally until AFTER I build up her drive train a la

Classic Inlines Performance Parts - Home

I'm thinking 2V, headers w/ dual exhaust, possibly turbo........?

Before any of that tho' I have to finish the body work, get the electrical and interior re-installed, then I can work on the drivetrain.......

be sure to contact mike personally before ordering the head. last i knew he was looking for a new supplier. but that is one awesome head though. he had a turbo'd 200 using that head and they made 325hp!! there is a guy on fordsix.com that put one on his 250 powered falcon, also turbo'd, and that car now gets into the 10 second bracket, and is still a daily driver for his wife.

And to think the original 200ci was rated at 120hp and the 289ci HiPo at 271hp!!!

Now for that you could get a brand new Ford Racing 5.0 with aluminum heads!

sure you can, if you want a belly button motor.

Anyone can drive a V-8. How many would expect to see that kind of performance from a '65 powered by a 200ci I-6?

I'm looking for the effect!!!

So anyway, what color dress will Sally be wearing to the Prom?

 

[65stanger]

It won't be pink taffeta!

 

[Realmongo]

Well that's a relief!

Are you going back with the original Ivy Green?

Yes, with the "Incan Gold" LeMans stripes.

They should go together well. Is the interior either black or palomino?

Going with the original palomino w/ woodgrain accents, and converting the door panels to "pony"......

My very first Mustang must have been an identical twin to Sally.

I never took any photos (hey it was 35 years ago), but believe it or not, I did keep the original sales receipt out of the glovebox for it, that lists all the codes, options, and price.

I love my wife~! I asked her about getting an estimate from a local (well known) body shop to finish the body work and paint "sally" and she said absolutely!
And the way she was talking to my stepson last night, I do believe I'll get the green light no matter what the $$$!!!
