1965 CC cuda??

Is the 289 a complete marine engine? Why not rebuild it into a righty

The 289 is not a marine engine and not sure if the 260 the boat came is either

Thanks for the info going to need all the help I can get I would like to put this together the right way.

Marine engines have been derived from automotive engines for many years. It's basically bolt on's that make a engine marine and not it's rotation.

Yes, as Ken mentioned, pictures are needed. What's the length? I'm going with what you have is a Mustang.

Jim,
If it's a 1965, the 16.5 length would make the boat a Classic model and several V8 Interceptor Fords were available (listed). Pictures are needed.

Click the full reply editor. It's the slanted arrow icon above the quick reply Then click on the icon of the tree with the up arrow. A browse box will come up allowing you to select anything off your computer.

Works for me. What did you do after you clicked on the tree? Did you select a picture and then click OK?

Read again. There are two icons with arrows.

Full reply editor first (arrow above)
Then icon of the tree with the up arrow.

Try following the directions in this link to an old thread.

When you get to the 3rd step where the big arrow is pointing at browse, it may say "choose file" instead of "browse" in that box. Click on that box and continue following his instructions.

This works on a desktop or laptop.

It doesn't work on a phone, tablet etc.

Thanks for the heads up I have been using my phone to upload pics.

Some devices will not use the website's routine. There is an easy workaround once you learn how to "code" html. It is easy. You need to tell web browsers that you intend to reference another url. (Your picture). The first set of [ ] define the start of the img tag. Then your Http reference. Then the last set of [ ] tell browsers that the image tag is ending with [/img]. This is the structure of html. TheRe are tags for bold, colors, links,etc.

Try this:
Click reply.
Then click on the pic of the tree. Then just click "ok".
Notice the txt that appears. This is the html (hypertext mark up language) tag for rendering an image to a webpage. < IMG]http://[/IMG > . This one is using the wrong outer brackets, but I am posting it for those who are reading

If you switch to "basic mode" from "prompt mode" (drop down button a few to the right of tree), you will get the same without the start of your Http url reference. Once you understand this, you can type the img ref yourself and not use the buttons. On a phone, the prompt and tree method give you a larger target to highlight with your finger to paste over.

If you upload your pics using this site in the control panel, zoom out and on some device you will now realize there is an entire right side of the page you do not see. You will even see your uploaded pics.
Select your pic from your directory. Click and hold on the preview of the pic and then open in new browser window. Highlight your url in the address bar and copy it.
Now take that back to your post. Paste it into the image tag between the ][ where the http:// was.

Your close. You need to view your pic in another web tab so you get the whole url: to copy. something like this

See yours is just the local file name to ccfan (after the last / )

finally got some pics of the boat up I think its a 1965 barracuda not sure couldn't pass on this one got it for 400 bucks has a 65 ford 260 with 289 heads looks like the original trailer and the tires. just purchased a 65 289 complete ready to go to the machine shop and while that's being done I'am putting in new douglas fur stringers and a new floor. That should keep me out of trouble this winter.

Posted pics from my home computer worked fine I will take more pics of the inside of the boat and engine before I start. Thanks for the info was thinking it was a barracuda. Think I should go with a 289 or 318 to keep it original?
