Maverick man, the engine looks super. Nice job.
Just remember with the 347 engine you can probably pass most of the cars on the highway, but with your 250" you can at least pass a gas station. Super craftmanship. william

Did you decide on what mod's you were going to do to the 250?? Aussie head, turbo, nitrous, whatever??

hey thanks... well i ordered a aussie head but i haven't heard from them yet. one of my customers imports stuff in form the land down under and he supposed to put it on his containter. but for now i haven't heard anything yet. he also had a flalcon I6 with a turbo.. so he supposed to hook me up with an intercooler. but the guy is kinda slow so don't expect anything too soon

but first things first.. i still need to find a fuel sender for this puppy.. you know if a 70 and up mustang one will work?

haa haa.. it can't pass anything now it can't even get to the gas station! i had to replace the gas tank it was rusted though! i stil need a sender too. i can't find one that will work.

good eye. thats the way the came stock from the factory.. V8's are the same.

almost everything but the new waterpump, radiator hoses (all hoses), spark pulg wires, coil, cap, flex fan and vavle cover is orginal stock... the chome stuff is stock stuff chromed.

the air ducting is S shaped so it works nicely.

The 71-73 standard unit should work in your Mav fuel tank. IIRC, they have the same size opening. I can't say if they are properly calibrated for the tank size though. The late Mustang tanks are 20 gal, I think, so the readings may be a little off.

Very nice. MAJOR improvement from before.
