Instead of destroying Scouttroopers thread...

Would I mod a 68 R code? No, to me it's special as is regardless how much it cost to restore.

Would I mod a I6 or a ordinary Mustang that would cost 20K to restore to factory condition? Heck yes! That car is begging for a 427FE or EFI engine.

 

Couldn't agree more. And I appreciate everyone's inputs on all types of cars.

 

No, it is begging to be restored to factory specs. It is a myth that there are ordinary Mustangs, and then there are special Mustangs that don't require modding. An ordinary 289 or an ordinary I6 Mustang are just that. Mustangs. Your whoopty doo K code GT is not anymore of a Mustang than a T code 6 banger. Get off your high horse and look at the facts. So, it is just as much a misdemeanor to bastardize a T code as it is a K code. Same thing. You are changing the original car into something it was not meant to be.

 

Actually it would be you that's on the high horse. I'm open minded about it. I would just rather see a classic Mustang on the road than worry about it's powerplant.

 

And there is a difference between a K code GT and a T code 6. From 64 to 66 there were 1 million Mustangs built. How many were K vs T? I'd be more inclined to leave a less common optioned pony alone.

 

My option would be to leave them all alone, and build them all to factory specs.

 

And I will repect that just like I would someone who thinks differently about it.

 

Go to some Classic Mustang car shows, then form an opinion.

 

I've been to plenty.

 

Then you know what I am talking about. Classics are just that. Original. Not changed with EFI or any other new technology. Original.
