just a guess but i would think not .. was`nt the magnum a 15 x 7 meant for the bosses with the " flared " fender... and did we skip post # 70 about the terminator part

mgreene

Hoss is correct - although seen on almost all '70 Mach 1 cars these days, none ever came with them because of the fender interference problem that did not exist on Boss cars with the rolled fenders.

when i look at " k " cars at shows or at least ones claiming to be with their
hi-po 289 breathers and fender badges one quick look at the front of the engine tells me the truth.. what do i see that is dif from standard 289 mills

mgreene

I can think of 3 things looking at the front of the engine:

1: Thicker harmonic dampner
2: Dual Point distributor with no vacuum advance
3: If it's a '65 or later, it would have a larger diameter alternator pulley

HOSS429

yeah ,, the balancer always gives the phony ponys away to me..

Ok, here we go:

On 1969-70 Mustangs with the 428 Super Cobra Jet, what was significant about the horn placement when compared to other cars with the regular 428 Cobra Jet engine option?

HOSS429

you could`nt have asked a " COOLER " question .. when i built my SCJ forever ago it took the machine shop several weeks to find one intake valve that had to be replaced.. it was larger than even a " standard " 428 cobra jet,,, but someone else can give the answer

Mberglo

The SCJ had chrome air horns and were mounted on the roof next to the CB antenna.

HOSS429

i`d give anything rite now for a " duke boys" 69 mach one picture rite now

mgreene

Well, Hoss, looks like you're the only taker so I'd say go ahead and answer.

HOSS429

the scj motor had a factory oil cooler that required re-locating the horn to the passengers side .. i dont really have another question .. anyone else can go

and to think,, i sold my SCJ motor to Jan for a whopping 100 bucks... after i bought it back from the fellow who put the 6 cylinder in the car .. the only 69 r code mustang with a six banger i bet..

What year was the first Saleen (say lean) Mustang produced? kennyg

mgreene

1984?

kennyg

1984 is correct!

mgreene

From 1967-1969 the 390 cubic inch engine was offered in the Mustang. What were the two engine codes for the 390 during this run?

jwebster

Would that be S code and X code?

mgreene

Yes, Mr. Webster, you are correct. Did you get your Mustang back from Ray's yet?

jwebster

I should get it back soon. You won't recognize it the next time you see it.

Next question: What is the displacement of the engine that was installed in the first Mustang that came off the assembly line?
