can i use a 67 mustang parts car (v8) to convert a 66 mustang 6cylinder over to 8cylinder. or do i have to use a 65/66 car to convert it to a v8. thanks

 

I believe that just about all the parts you need are for 65-66. There may be some parts from the 67 that will work, but most probably won't.

 

if its an early 67 it will work if its a late they are different

 

I have a 65 coupe with an inline 6 and I thought about converting it to an 8 cyl. But after I dressed up my engine and won a trophy at my first car show, I'm sticking to the 6 since it is all original. Once I can save a little more I'll buy another mustang with an 8 in it and hot rod that one up.

Btw, if anyone has their brakes feelink like they are about to go, STOP DRIVING IT! My master cyl just about went out on me while in a neighborhood and ended up on someone's front lawn!! I had a place put a new one in, flush my lines and bleed it. It drives like a new car!!

Warren - you make a great example of why somebody should upgrade to dual brake cylinders! Glad to hear there was no damage to the car (or personal property for that matter).

 

im not sure if it is a newer or later model 67. how can i tell... the steering column was the all-in-one type column and not the one that come apart from the steering box.

 

The early 67 had the same box as the 64-66. Mid- and late 67 had the short type, with "rag" joint.

 

+1 on keeping it inline.
