1965 Mustang Coupe with original 200ci engine 8.5" clutch 3 spd.
Replacing the 3 spd with 5 speed and have a 67 200ci engine with 9" clutch to replace the original engine.
This car is a weekend / daily driver but since I am rebuilding the 67 I want to increase the performance.
The 1st step is to send the block off to my machine shop. Without know if I am going to order an aluminum head (waiting list) or find a large log or machine the existing head , can I decide on what I need done on the block?
.30 over bore Cam - 264 to 274 degree hydraulic aftermarket cam Cast pistons (flat ?)
I'm thinking something on Level three style build ci/HopUpYourSix.html
The other part of planning I'm confused with is the gains of the Aluminum head (expensive) compared to finding a 1969 or newer large log head. I'm eager to get started but want to be sure that I have planned the best path to give the marching orders to the machine shop for the block work.
