Bring-A-Trailer is getting very close to starting the auction. Might be up by this weekend. I'll send the link as soon as I know. Thanks to all for participating in this discussion.

I just added this document to the original thread. For all of you guys like me that like the numbers and stuff!!!

With four horizontal lines in that "double-struck" F, it can't be an H. Also, did Lorain (H plant code) ever build any 429 CJ motors? I think they were all built at Dearborn by 1971, even for Torino Cobras. Inputs please!    

Yes, they are D0OE-R and the date code is SPEC. It appears the heads have never been off the engine, and the seller also stated this.

F-Dearborn (the only assembly plant that built the 1971 429 CJ/SCJ Mustang and Cougar) The build date code is 1A14K, January 14, 1971. Yes, this one has me stumped for now.....

Not yet, they are behind, all the stuff is loaded but they can't get to it yet...perhaps in two weeks. I'll let you know when it's live. Thank you.

I'm planning on selling one of my Boss 351s. It will be listed on Bring a Trailer soon.  It's truly a great car. Please let me know what you think! Thanks for reading.

Kevin Marti just confirmed these four Partial VINs are incorrect: Partial VIN      Build date F173252          2/11/71 F173262         2/12/71 F178252         2/19/71 F178262         2/19/71 Of these four Mustangs, one had a 351-2v, two had 302-2v, and one was a six banger! Any other...

Also just submitted the engine for sale on Bring-a-Trailer BaT. I'll post when it goes live in a few days. Hopefully find the owner of the car this way. If Marti comes back with a hit on the VIN, and this is a C code with a C6, non-ram air in a Mach1, Ford only made 164 of them. If it's a ...

Just submitted these two partial VINs to Marti. We'll see if we get a hit this time.

The two numbers I tried through Marti: 1F178252 1F173252 Looking now for the technology to read the metal deformations to determine the VIN.

Found an engine stored away near Sheridan IL. about 7 years ago. Was looking for a display engine to take to car shows and the gentleman selling it clearly had an original 429 CJ 4 bolt engine that had never been taken apart. Don't think the carburetor is original to the engine, but everything...

Thank you for posting this image! But, I just found the shift lever I need, a 7831 Hurst. Enjoy the weekend!

Around 1988, the original shift lever in my car was cut in half for "short throw" and welded. It's ruined! So I need a lever badly. Willing to take anything; even something that needs a complete re-chrome. Thanks to all. 

Checked with Scott Brokaw he has none at this time. Thank you for the tip.

Update: I found one! Thanks to all! I need a Hurst shift lever from a 1971 Mustang top loader. New or used, original or reproduction. The 1970 design is very similar and would work as well. Will buy the whole shifter body and rods if desired. Thank you for reading!

I just tried to install them and they DON'T FIT! The seats are too large for the space between the floor boards and the ceiling. I thought that once I put power to the seats, and collapsed the seat track, they might fit, but nope! The modern cars have much lower floor boards and much more head...

Thank you for this guidance. 1.) I do not have the accessory option so I'll get the fused terminal from Midlife and add it to my fuse box. 2.) I'll see if I can get the max amps for the motors from Ford.

I want to install a set of 2015 Mustang cloth seats into my '71 fastback. Has anyone done this swap? I'm swapping out the factory bucket seats, both of the new seats are power and soooo Nice! I'll need to fab-up some brackets and I'm getting the wiring schematic for both seats from Ford. Once I...

Thank you for this reply. I did see this part but it has a very unrealistic price. So, I am still looking for a driver quality part. I hope someone has one!
