Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By storminnorman:
I've owned several old cars/trucks over the years, drove many of them daily. A NEW carb set up properly doesn't need to be messed with all that often, and when adjustment is needed big deal...My car has manual disc now, I'll prob. add a Granada brake booster down the road. I swear too many people can't handle anything not electronic these days  . ), but you can't beat FI. I live at 2500', and need to drive everywhere from sea level to just over 8000'. If I lived at a static elevation, I'd stay with carbs...but FI is in my future.
...and I might be wrong in the head, but I would really like a '67 or '68 Mustang with an T56/LS combo (minus shock towers, of course). |

I had forgotten about this thread. Had mine done-ish and driving for a bit. Went with 3.23 8” rear and with the c4 it’s at 3000rpm at 60mph. I absolutely would look for a five speed.

T56 means screwing with the tunnel. New TKX not as much but just a repositioning of the trans mount. As for shock towers, you could probably get away with keeping them. The suspension on my 66 is stupid good and I dont see reason for a Mustang 2 type suspension thanks to the longer strut rods and lower control arm arcs of stock style suspension. |
