1965 Ford Interceptor 260 ci

Yep but it ain't worth it to take them apart if you don't know they leak. I would put the exhaust end up and fill the water jackets to the top with water . Look inside the exhaust jacket real good for leaks if you don't see anything put me on and give me a shot.

Pete, look at top of page. He got what appears to be a really nice set of Interceptors.

Identical hull ! split windshield & side wings and all !!

That's great


It's too bad you don't have that model number mime was registered thru the SS as a 69 but Art was able to find out through the archives that it was born on June 6 1967. Yesterday I went out and bought a new cherry picker pulling the engine this weekend.

Well..... depends on how you look at it ? We bought it in Michigan in 2010 and it was listed as a 1967 Mustang. The Michigan title had no actual HIN# only a Michigan re title # ?? apparently someone either salvaged it or lost the old Hull tag?? But as I looked around most of the 67 Mustang's had the molded in front Ventilator, So I looked all over for the Stringer tag, to no avail. We got the engine apart and learned that it was a 1965 260 ci. I know some of the marine engines sat around for a while, and that some of the boats from this era were listed by the year they sell and not by yr. of manufacture .. so all that being said.. I think it was a 1965 ish Mustang that is now a 1967 ish Mustang ?? Makes perfect sense right ? lol !! Anyway it has been a Great project for me and my (25 yo) son to restore. After his 1st season we decided that it was bleeding too much oil (rear main seal) so we decided to do a rebuild. we found a "wife beater" t shirt in the valley under the intake ?? And it Ran !! great !!

Those manifolds will work they are for a sbf... happy boating!

The bolt pattern is not the same as ours above. If the ebay manifolds aren't for a SBF, what would they be?

I sent him an e mail yesterday. says they are ford but the Bolt flanges and ports don't look the same dimension ? Narrower ?? unless it's photo distortion ? "Interceptor" appears to span more of the exhaust ports than on the ones I have too ?? waiting for reply to E mail ? Thanks for looking out for me though !!
