Who in threr right mind installed those ugly side markers. Why do you say its a 289 hipo? Is it a true hipo or is it what some one told you it was. A true hipo will have a 4 bolt main and solid lifters and screw in studds. </P>


<FONT size=5>The Front red side marker is also not legal. it should be clear or amber.</FONT></P><edited><editID>67aquafastback</editID><editDate>37910.8369212963</editDate></edited>

The rear red side marker is legal. The red side marker on the front fender is not legal and the 67 never had side markers it was not intill 68 that side markers were installed. The rear was red and the fronts where clear with amber bulbs. I would recommend removing both the front and rear it would look much nicer.<IMG src=uploads/67aquafastback/CF855_Picture_954.JPG border="0"></P>


This is my 67 fastback notice no side markers it is stock and it gives it smother lines.</P>

Yes I know that they also made dual master brake cylinders manditory in 67 per federal law. I have my state brake and lamp license. I am required to stay on top of all the state and federal laws concerning brake and lamp systems. My license expires in 2005 and then I have o take the state test again. it cost around $80.00 for both.</P>

Port and polish the heads. Have larger valves installed you can put 194, 160 valves in the hipo heads with a little machine work. I recommend manley pro flow valves also install roller rockers. If you have a true 289 hipo then you will already have screw in studds so you won't have to modify them. Have the crank custom ground and polished and install a higher compression set of pistons and put a better cam in. This will add more HP and will keep the motor looking stock. If you want add a edlebrock intake and matching carb or install a demon carb. Ford motor sport has some bad *** heads that would also work great but the cost is up there.</P>


Sorry did not mean to make you made with the lights comments. I was just giving my side.</P>
