Hello guys, here is a question which is unanswered since I have my Mustang (one month and a half).
Anyway here is some cool info :
I just had an email from one previous owner and he told me the original 351C 4V Cobra Jet engine has been removed to be installed in a Detomaso Pantera ! He told me the actual block comes from a Ford Ranchero but he doesn't know which year (72, 71 or earlier ?).
It's pretty common here in France to have non original parts in american cars because there are not that much of them around here and some parts are difficult to get.
So, my block has 2V heads for sure, and looks like a 351 Cleveland, but I'm not sure. May be a Windsor ? How can I verify this ? Also the transmission is a C4 which isn't a common one for 351 Clevelands.
