Pete, I'm going to post a picture of the ski to I picked up near WL. The Fram filter is still in tact :)

This is where I need lots of help is there a particular brand name I should be looking for ebay, summit should I buy assembled , while I'm at new piston rings etc

Where does one go for a set
I've tried to change the title and my profile with no success

Well I think you know the head answer, might as well get yourself a set of gt40p's. Head work is expensive I have as much in a set of standard heads that a local shop did as I have in my,at the time,brand new P's with larger valves.

I'm by no means a motor head but my plan of attack is the engine first. Ive been slowly tearing it apart .



It looks like there is a crack that was fixed ?

They don't ,remember CC told me back in 88 that mine was a 68 because it was built 12-68. Was not until you and Reid looked at it and saw the vents that it is a 69.

Things have been moving very slow but Art found my invoice
she was born June 6, 1967, Interceptor 165

The hot 340 certainly helps! But marshall's (padded) hull needed no changes in response to more power in order to run fast and safe. Reid's baby blue (no pad) needed all the hook ground out of it to run similar speeds with similar power. Olive oyle (pad) ran fast with stock power, as does my '70 (pad). Sages (no pad) wouldn't break 50 with a full top end upgrade, and I don't think royal flush (no pad) did either. The latter runs as bow low as any mustang I've seen- the trick wake was puny!

So yes, my theory is that there were multiple mustang molds (easily identified by the pad) and the padded one had less hook.

Bruce, I believe both transom were used right to the very end of the 1gen Mustangs run. Most of ours have the pad but not all. I like the look of the pad better but that's probably because it's what I always remember seeing. If my theory is correct, the padded hulls are faster!

Sorry Bruce, I sold the glove box and everything else I didn't need. I believe it was the same one that was in my Mark Twain. It is not unique to CC and was a fairly common accessory used by other manufacturers. You may find one on eBay.
