I think after I retire, I will have plenty of time on my hands to upgrade OldYeller's engine. I ran across this article that sounds pretty much what I want to pursue. Any thoughts or suggestions? http://www.mustangandfords.com/techarticles/5256/

Hiya Soarin,
IMO I like the stock look. Maybe upgrade the cam and heads but leave the dress up kit A code looking. That is what I'm doing right now. It is really a good feeling when you FIND the actual vintage part to add it to your car. ebay has been a source for me in the last few months for a center console, 4v intake and Autolite 4100 carb. Bidding is like gamblin. The last few minutes really gets you going! I got my intake and carb for 300.00. The center console was in great shape and was 300. I am sending the carb in to Pony carbs this winter (my Christmas present) to get the rebuild and plate job. I think around 300. It really looks good when they finish. I am still on the fence about a new cam and heads myself. I guess maybe next year when I have more money I will do them. Right now my next purchase is hipo exhaust. I do have a question about that. My stock exhaust have a couple of heat lines running out of them. The hipo do not have the place for that. Where do I get heat for the carb from?

Do it! It will give you something to do. Or buy another mustang
Ya know......that thought has entered my head too. Just keep oldyeller bone stock, and get me a trashed out Mustang to tear apart and put back together. That sounds like more fun. Thanks for the suggestion.
