Thanks for all the info.

I used Castrol 10w30 with Zinc Booster added. Ran the 30 minute break in . Changed oil and filter with zinc booster again used Castrol conventional ran the 2200 miles to last bash. then switched to Amsoil 10-40 synthetic Zrod oil . no issues .

So sorry for your loss.

Looks good, I used the eccentric eliminators  on my 71 great product.

Merry Christmas to all .

TMI sport seats, Had to make brackets to make them lower in car . Head clearance is ok ,And seats are very comfortable.

When three phase motors where cheaper you could build a three phase convertor from a  three phase motor . say you wanted to run a three phase  compressor on single phase by using the pony motor to generate your third leg .You would need to spin he pony motor to start but it would run and generate your third leg to run or compressor .

I ran with 10w40 regular oil with a zinc product added for the first 2200 miles the trip to Texas. After I got back drained and switched to Amsoil 10w40 Z rod full synthetic. 

Are the rockers rail rockers ? looking at them on the 66 289 I don't like them they provide no lubrication to the valve stem. They do have a pin hole in the push rod socket to feed the ball but nothing to the stem.My thoughts are if the rails are contacting the hat on the spring as they travel could sound like lifter clatter. 

Good job.

current pump sequels on cold start and has small leak  

Good information, I running with the P heads on my 351w and using JBA shorty headers , attempted to use the hippo manifolds but they will not work on a 1971 mustang due to the steering gear box. Also using plug wires with ceramic boots. 

I think that every year the mustang was made is an important part of the cars history . I even consider the mustang 2 in that group , On the 71 -73 cars they were poor timing on fords part. If not for the EPA and " gas " shortages who know how its history would be.
