I have spent every available hour stripping the old girl down to nothing and have succeeded! As I removed parts I stripped them and rebuilt them as I went along. This past week was very productive and informative. I found the my 351C is actually a 351 CJ. I also found the the c6 tranny that they said was in it is actually a FMX. Well with than being said I continued what I started. I rebuilt the steering box, power steering pump, rear end and the transmission this week. I also opened the engine to find a large amount of metal in the pan. After looking I found the the number 4 piston through the bearing and actually welded the rod and cap together and trashed the crankshaft. I called the guy I bought it from and ask if he new where i could get a crank and some other parts for the engine. He told me to come down (3 hour drive) and he has a crank for the car. This is what I came home with for $400.00. Sooner or later the Mustang Gods shine on all of us.
So my sunday was spent driving and getting cool stuff for the old girl. He also gave me a 351C block and a set of 4V heads along with all the goodies.
I am again happy...
