Looking to buy either a 69 or 1970 R code 351 . Herd they are quite rare ? . Any help guys .

[staddy]

 
   Don`t know that one Glenn , 71 R was a Boss 351 ,, but yep 69-70 ???

Well a least someone is awake  . Now what do others have to say about this ?

I will sell you a nice '69-'70 R code 351 - just wire the deposit to my bank in the Bahamas...

Ok Brian ,what's the acc number.

Ok back to my original question . On another mustang group a guy is tell me and everyone else that you could order a 351 R code , hmm , and the R meant ram air . He is talking 69 and 70 models not a 71 R code 351 .  I need members in the know and with the  knowledge  to set this right ,there was or was not in 69/70 mustangs R code 351 mustangs built , no guessing but fact . He said he has five high end classic mustangs so he knows what he is talking about and I don't . I am a moderator on that group and as advised me I should not be as I don't know much about mustangs    But wait there is more  . I cant answer this one as there are many stories about this one , he says 69 Mach 1s came with 351 Clevelands and said he has seen one and it has a Marty report stating it . I know the 351c was made in late 69 but did ford fit them into 69 mustangs ? . I have never seen a factory fitted 351c but that's not saying ford did not fit them ?? .  True or false on both questions please .

Jiffy would know. I have a double R code 69, Ram air 428 manual. I thought 69mustangs had Windsor's but happy to be corrected

They’re all diesels.

Glenn - probably something you've already looked at, but did you either try contacting Marti direct or getting hold of the "Mustang by the numbers" book they put out?

Hey Barnett have you been asleep    69/70 R code 351 . And a 351c factory in a 1969 ? . And this one a 1969  Mach 1 with a 0 and not a 9 on the vin  ? And a 351c ? . I have seen it  here in Aust but what's it's story ? .

[jiffy]

I don't think the Marti report called out the casting plant of the engines - it would simply say 351 4V engine from memory, not 351 Cleveland or 351 Windsor, so I think we can call BS on that particular part....



This car advertises a '69 351 Windsor with a shaker and a Marti, but doesn't show a copy of the Mari unfortunately.

This site talks about available options for '69 Mustangs and their prices at the bottom of the page calls out price of the 351W shaker:

I agree . But he also says R code 351 . I think the guy has pulled his head in now  .

[jiffy]

I think he’s put his head back where he had it.

And it dark in there.....

I've checked my Mustang by the Numbers book and no mention of any R code 351s as expected
