big differance before and after,yea it would have been eazier to clean up engine bay with the engine pulled-the differance in pictures looks like you had to pull it,maybe not. thats a fine ride alot of my friends had fairly new mustangs around that year when we were growing up---had lots of fun in them-welcome to the forum

Looks pretty good, here is a pic of my 67 I've been working on. I have a 306 with a procharger to go in it. Maybe one of these years it will be bright yellow and have the motor in it!!
