I agree with the above posts. If you are looking for horsepower and fuel economy you might want to look into the 6 speed transmissions and match it to the gearing in the rearend. You can get a high horsepower engine but to really get the gas mileage you need a 5-6 speed.

I do not know if you're looking to have a stick or automatic though. TCI has a very expensive 6 speed automatic but I'd recommend a gear vendors which is cheaper up front and not something you have to heavily modify.

As for the front suspension have you looked at the TCP front suspension? I know I was looking at it for my 69 sportroof, but have decided to save up for the Griggs suspension, even if it is expensive.

My brother has the Baer 14" 6 piston drilled and slotted on his 07 shelby and he really loves them.

On a side note if this is your daily driver who do you have for insurance? I cannot find anyone that will talk to me about insuring my 69 as a daily.

I currently have a carb and it is well tuned but I cant reap any benefits 'cause of my 3 speed, that car is loud on the highway were most of my driving is done.
I know what you mean. once i was changing my carb and everything went ok, except when i tried to turn it on.....my fuel pump had died and i couldnt figure it out. that was not a good couple of days, had to call out
I really hope so, I would like to keep it Ford and preferably not mess with the shock towers either

Thanks for the tips. I am leaning for the 302 with an EFI

well, because it is a daily i was able to insure it with a couple of the major companies ( i switched a few years back with no problems) currently its GEICO but i plan to switch to one that deals with classics.
and i like to keep it manual

I think Hagerty will insure for a daily.

The first kit has many small LED's. The second kit has three rows of large, surrounded by small.

I would take a look at these as Mustang Project is known to have the best LED's as well as great customer service:

I'm not too crazy about sequentials, which is why i linked those but if the kit you mention could be programmed not to do that then i definitely get those. I'll give them a call

Thanks for the link

Geico is who I use to insure my 68 as a regular vehicle. $800 in NYC with no restrictions and even bumped up a few things since if I hit anything it will be a Merc or BMW. They wont do theft though which sucks. Progressive would but it add $1000 a year and they wont tell you what kind of value they would pay out,

My dad has hagerty and he said that they won't let you do that. You have to have another vehicle. I was going to put hagerty on the 67 until he told me that.

Carbs can be just as reliable, my 67 is my DD and I've had it 4 years.

You could use State Farm and insure under a stated value policy. Its been about 10 yrs since mine has been insured but at least they used to do it that way.
