1968 390 Mustang Fastback, First time running on it's own in 23 years

nice car good job on the overhaul now howabout that power plant is it original.

[@Venturi2012]

No not the original engine. Unfortunately the original engine blew up, the wrist pin in one of the pistons wasn't secured properly from the factory and wore a groove in a cylinder. It may have had another 289 in it afterwards but later on a 390 was installed as an upgrade.

[@joelongley2074]

thats a shame about the original engine but the one in it now sounds great is that Holley a mechanical secondary.

[@Venturi2012]

joe longley Yes it is, it may be original to the 390

[@Timrsnakess]

you have a bit of an exhaust manifold leak i see but sounds great

[@Venturi2012]

Yeah I have no clue as to how an exhaust manifold could leak so bad.. I hear the bolts don't usually come out without breaking unfortunately.

If it were mine i would so make a BULLITT replica out of it.
