67 Mustang Fastback

[390 S code]

Manifold will run 3x600 cfm throttle bodies with a progressive linkage . I have been told that on the 440 mopars that F&B have fitted this system too that they are very drivable .With the centre throttle body bringing in the torque earlier .As far as tuning it i hope the XFI FAST will bring this engine to life . Trans is a TKO 600 with 3.5 diff gears . As far as the Tunnel wedge manifold there were concerns with air speed but since it is fuel injected it should work OK. As you can see it has a large plenum what do you guys think .Car should have some under bonnet appeal with Cobra Lemans valve covers ,and a polished oval aircleaner when it all comes together i will post more photos .

Of course I love the car but I'm an FE Ford guy. Of course I don't know how anybody couldn't like the early Mustangs.

That TW would work fine even with carbs. The FAST system should make it very drivable as long as you know how to tune with it.

What are you going to run for wheels and tires?

Which TKO do you have the .82 or .64 5th gear. If you haven't bought the TKO yet I'd think hard about which one to buy. I'd say the .82 5th makes more sense. The one comment I'd make is with the OD 5th I'd go for a deeper rear gear unless you are running a really short rear tire.

The TKO 600 has the .82 O/drive ,Wheels are Edelbrock 17x8 all round styled on the cobra wheels .Tyres are currently 245 x17 .I have had a change of heart with the wheels and when the time is right $$$$ i would like to purchase a set of TEAM 3 LT iii minilights in 17x8 and 17x10 and fit rubber to suit . Because there was a change in the build and fitting the 4 link there is a lot more room with the leaf springs gone , plus the HP expected from the initial build has increased somewhat . My engine builder is up to speed with these systems having built a twin turboed 408 Windsor in a 67 Fastback ,plus i had a Twin charged 1.8 litre nissan sunny running a supercharger and a large turbo for its capacity so i have had some time with a WOLF 3D injection setup .

Some further progress with the Tri power.

Manifold and Fast EFI will take 2 weeks to arrive in Australia .I have been impressed with F&B ,Bruce has gone out of his way to make this build happen i would highly recommend him . When it all arrives the fun begins .My son is fabricating a 20 gal fuel tank for the car with internal baffles and pod for intank pump.Futher work on the engine build has been slowed waiting on T&D roller rockers and lifters .Cylinder heads have been stripped to allow some minor porting and valve spring change to suit the Comp cam.All parts are here for the short block so hope to see the engine completed for the New year .

Great project, good looking car, nice choice of wheels and induction.

I see I'm late to the party! Always glad to see 1) more FE's 2) More Aussies! 3) More Mustangs

I deal with a lot of blown FE stuff and use XFI systems on all of my builds so just holler at me if you have any questions. I can even give you a referral to someone in the Syndey area if you need help with tuning. I've got a couple clients down under that I've sold parts to.

Build looks great so far... I love that manifold!
