My first Mustang was just over a year ago when I bought the 08 vert. Up until then I was GM all the way. Now I have a Dodge and a Ford.
When I drove the first Mustang up to my Dad's house he opened the door and came out and saw it and just turned around and went back in and closed the door.
Now he is liking the Stangs after seeing all our cars.
I probably can find some parts for that 74. Starter, Alternator, maybe a factory intake or two, exhaust manifolds, distributors, etc. I would have to go take an inventory of what I actually have at Dad's.

I am the same way. My first car was a 72 big block challenger, then a 69 Nova SS. This is my first ford car beside the ever trusty old escort I had. That thing lasted for ever. Lol. My wife is checking to see what other Chevy parts I have left. I might even have the 700r4 from my C10 truck build but it will need to be rebuilt. It's free to if it still there and anyone wants it. I will let you know if I come across anything else. Good luck on the rebuild and post plenty of pictures for us not able to be there.

From the mid 60's thru the mid 80's I was Mr. GM. Camaro, Corvette, Chevelle, Firebird, Buick GS, Olds Cutlass and on and on .... I had it so bad that I once turned down a great deal on a 1968 Shelby GT500 KR because it was a Ford...sigh...

Dude I feel your pain. I turned down a sweet 67 Fastback because it was a Ford.
I have missed some great opportunities over the years because they weren't GM.
I REALLY wish I hadn't turned down the 68 383 4spd Road Runner.
Although someone was probably watching out for me because there is a good chance I wouldn't be here to talk about it if I had gotten any of those.
