Upgrading to one with heat and defrost. Nothing wrong with this system. Disassembled with care . All there , all good .

This system came off a 289/302 . Two small hoses fit with stick radiator or the longer one to clear the wider  24” radiator
You will need to provide your own V belt and crank pulley.
Asking $550 - local pickup preferred from my Van Alstyne TX address . Welcome to text me at 6eightytwo twotwenty5 fortyOnetwenty5

I keep a dedicated 1/2” deep thin wall socket and breaker bar in my “emergency kit” for use on my 15” ten spoke wheels just in case the wheel needs to come off.
Since I haven’t carried a spare for over 25 years I have a tire sealant kit and small 12v air compressor.
Branda has conical Shelby lug nuts @ $6.5., you will only need 16 if you use McGaurd locks.

I am needing a thin wall 13/16 for my new Shelby 10 spokes has those 2 inch pointed lug nuts.
Wanting to keep in my car. would like it to be like a 4 way. I knew a couple of you had the Shelby 10 spokes and wondered what you used. those freaking lug nuts are like 7-8 dollars each at summit now.

My older brother had an orange a black stripe one that he came home from the service with.   He let me drive it out on a date one night.   I remember it running well and handling well. What I remember most was he had a CD player in it which he got in Germany, and that was pretty rare around these parts in the mid 80s.  Anyways he rolled it, then bought a Chebby Vega 4 cyl stick shift and I remember that POS being about ten times more fun to drive.

I like them one of my best friends mom had a 1978 white with red stripes 302 4 speed Cobra.  She was a hot rodder too probably what got me and him both interested in Hot Rods the next car she got was a red 83 GT I remember it saying BOSS 302 on hood scoop. when it was sold  it got totaled and they bought it back and made it into a dragster.

I prefer tires that fit.
But, I do like the looks of those cars. You NEVER see one at a show.

The above Mustangs were sorta 'shunned' by alotta the Mustang guys for a bunch of reasons.
Therefore...they don't draw the $$$ as the classic 65-66-67-68-69-70 "real Mustangs" !
I guess its a matter of...'what toots your whistle...trips your trigger...rings your bell..etc'.
Personally I always sorta liked the way they look (like a Mustang that got wet and shrank) OR
like the Opel GT that resembles a shrunk Vett (I REALLY dig those)
The under-loved Mustangs could use some up-grades to make it more appealing to the Die-Hard-Haters.
THIS......makes me like'm plenty more !! (How bout cha'll )

The stat housing with the O-ring is an Edelbrock product. The gasket sealer or shellac would not hold the stat in place during installation. The engine after rebuilding had the stock looking thermostat housing.

Welcome back, Gaba.  People just don't appreciate just how good a man has to be to put family before his Mustang.  LOL.  Honestly though, I'm glad you got all that worked out a bit and can have a little fun on the car.  Hope to see you soon.

Cool idea, what’s the skinny on the water neck, the o ring water necks I’ve seen were chromed, made of pewter and leaked like a sieve .

 
Yup, my one purchase of that housing produced the same result. Butt moon's housing like it is a better piece.

 
Who  is Butt moon?

 
😂 This guy.



But no butts about it.
