Well this is what she looked like when I got it, Half disassembled project, heaps of boxes and bags of mustang parts in cabin, she didn't run, hopefully I can finish it soon and hear it running for the first time. 


This is what she looks like now.  Ive got the next month off work, so plenty of shed time to work on her.

Sorry Tim got you mixed up with Stu67 who is fitting his this wend , i have seen your pics. Now that i have a 67 aswell , i can see how there is a little more room to fit the 5.0l efi motor using the original EB aircon compressor , the towers are different to the 66 and i could not clear them which is why i moved the engine fwd about 50mm or so and used the orig mustang tailshaft without shortening. I have since RRS notched the twrs so i guess when i go back to fitting the motor i can go back to the original position with the mounts and will have to shorten tailshaft
