RE: 69 gt 390?

You're right about the '69 -S- code having a slightly smaller cam. The '69 -S- code also came with a slightly smaller carburetor as noted by Royce.

You could have a "GT trimmed" Mustang/Torino with a 302-2V! The same "GT trimmed" unibody car could be had with a mighty 428 CJ non ram-air or ram-air, even with a Drag Pack.

The point is not whether the car itself is/was a GT trimmed car, but rather the fact is that the '69 -S- code 390 was not as powerful as the '66-'68 -S- code 390. I had a '69 Mustang Coupe -S- code with C6. As a matter of fact, I still have it but it's too far gone to be restored. It had chrome trim on the 390 too. But it did not have camshaft C6OZ-6250-B, and it did not have a Holley 600 CFM carb. These two items were what made the -S- code '66-'68 a real 390GT. That cam mentioned was the key. It was good enough that the FoMoCo engineers felt it was more than suitable for the 428 Cobra Jet.
This thread, so far...
