Wanted: parts for v8 conversion - 65 Mustang
« on: January 05, 2022, 04:08:45 pm »
Hi all,

I am chasing a range of parts to complete what I need for a v8 conversion in my 65 Mustang.

Let me know if you have any of the following parts for sale or lying around and are happy to part with for cash...(this may be a completely aspirational list)

- Flywheel - 164T 50oz offset - mounting a 5.0 Windsor with top loader bellhousing.
- 11 inch clutch and pressure plate - if not too worn!
- Engine frame mounts for 65/66 - preferably 66.
- Engine mounts
- Clutch and slave cylinder
- top loader bellhousing fork
- 4 bolt crank pulley - dual rung
- Fan and spacer
- fuel pump

Can't think of anything else at the moment so I may add to this list.

Tony

Hey Tony,
What about a nice shiny used Worley radiator with shroud and 16” thermo fan.
It has the correct inlet and outlet for a Windsor 5.0L
I’m having a clean up and would like to do a deal.
Email me for photos if interested, I can’t post photos with this new iPad.

Cheers Phil.

But if you've buggered a lot maybe you're not very good at it!

Two for one is good but four for two is better!

Hello Mr.65 FB,
For your engine mounts I highly recommend a set of TUFF Mounts
Aussie made and a great product.....especially for a new V8 installation.

Bit on the hexy side, but good value none the less.

Thanks Phil and Megzee,

Since I posted I have a radiator, engine frame mounts and engine mounts.

I also have the crank pulley and I’m going to go the way of a hydraulic throw out bearing so no need for a slave cylinder.

Still chasing a clapper starter motor to mount to cast iron bell. Preferably pick up Melbourne??
