RE: Galaxie Heads?
By Mike McQuesten - 01/15/2002 3:27:05 PM; IP 206.193.0.122
The heads you are acquiring from the '67 donor Galaxie(note the correct spelling of Ford Galaxie...we Galaxie fans think that's important for some reason, we sometimes misspell Mustang so don't worry) are a key factor here. They may be a variety of castings. Check Dave Shoe's list that was just posted yesterday or the day before about exhaust ports. It's important because I'm assuming that you may be interested in running headers on this well built '68 S code Mustang. At least improve the exhaust to 428 Cobra Jet exhaust manifolds over the very restrictive 390GT manifolds. And the '28CJ are now available in repro from a variety of Mustang parts suppliers for around $400. Not a lot more than good headers. But I'd recommend headers as being the best buy for hp gain. More maintenance but that's one aspect of hot rodding. You're not trying to build it to concours are you? I hope not. There's a bunch of 'em out there. And I'm sorry, stock '68 S code 390 Mustangs are not competitive with lots of other stock '68 Muscle cars. Sorry, it's true. Now '68 R code CJ 'stangs or W- code Cougars...we're talking cream of the crop FE Muscle. But guys like Royce Peterson have them cornered. So we have to build 390 S codes to beat 'em.

My recommendation: Excellent headers from FPA for the correct heads you have.

Oh and gears and cam and valves and pistons and induction .....

Have you seen that latest issue of Mustangs & FORDS yet? I'm telling you there's inspirtation in them pages. There's '67 S code 390 GT Mustang that's built like they shoulda been. C6AE-R heads & headers. Tri Power. Now we're talking competitive muscle.
This thread, so far...
