So, saw a engine listed on a sale site at a good price and bought it without asking any questions. Figured what the heck, working on a 63 Falcon with a 170 so what do I have to loose. Now that I have it home and had a chance to look at it I am wondering what to do. It is out of a 1965 Mustang with a 65 block/head, 1967 manifold and a 3 speed manual attached.
Overall looks good but unfortunately the carb has been messed with, must have had a problem keeping the bottom linkage attached so someone hit it with s little weld. So my question is what would you do? Strip the engine and store the pats for future use in the Falcon? Strip it and sell the parts I don’t think I will need? Or, say the hell with it and modify the crap out of it for fun and put it in the Falcon? Thoughts?
