    Inquiring minds want to know! B) He probably hasn't even seen this thread since he started it. Most likely cause he's out buring rubber and petrocarbons. LOL!

    OMG! I took it out after work, it white smoked the tires thru all 4 gears!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Haven't done that in 10 years... :)

    The draw back was I saw the gas gauge move.. :(

    Wont be doing that again.... Man started at a dead stop tires stopped spinning at 60mph I was lookin at 110mph in a mile maybe a little over..... :eek: :D

    I still have to put the factory stripe kit on it & replace the cracked grill... :(

    I'll post pics before I get the stripes put on... I have to find the darn cable to my digital camera... :angry: I put it in a safe place so I wouldnt lose it.....

    What engine's the Q code? I used to own a '65 A code coupe, still miss it. Could break 14 MPG if I kept my foot out of the 4 bbl.

    "Q" code = 4v 351 cobra jet 280 hp

    "R" code = 4v 351 HO 286 hp

    "H" code = 2v 351c 190hp

    Nice you had the "A" code that would have been a 4v 289, nice


    Yeah the 71-73 mustangs where the biggest bodied mustangs made and were not as sought after as the 64 -70 body styles. Then in 74-78 the mustang dropped in size to the baby mustang and had the pinto like interior & offered a 4cyl, 6cyl & a 8cyl the 8cyl (was a 302) due to the gas crunchs of the 70s..

    Hey, wow...I used to have a '65 Mustang GT 'K' car (the coupe, and I wished I'd purchased a fastback instead), with the solid lifter 271hp 289 v8 and a four speed...this talk of codes is bringing me back to "the day"! The only problem was that it didn't have power steering and parallel parking was a DRAG!
