02LSE96LSC91SE84TC April 14th, 2006, 09:19 PM HHMM, its a Ford product, looks a little familiar. Something late 70s early 80s judging by the shifter. Fairmont?

my nana`s car, shes the only owner.
she has a cadillac so she lets me use the mustang when i need it.
00_slow_5spd_ls April 14th, 2006, 11:51 PM runs perfect, not one thing wrong with the car. it is a gem,
all lights work, locks, no creaking, no rust, smooth drive, i love it. eventually im going to swap a 5.0 in it with a t5 tranny and 4.10 gears, i already got the fuel cell, fuel pump, msd ignition, 3" radiator, just need to get a clean motor and the rear end,

Not to pick nits, but if it's the original motor, that's a V6, not a straight 6 (I6). The only I6 Ford produced between ~1970 and 1995 was the 300CID (4.9l) stright six in the F-series pickups. That was one hell of a motor.
Good luck on the cat install!

Sorry, but slow 5 is correct, the 200ci straight six was used in the Mustang from 79 to 83. It was a revival of the original one used in Falcons/Comets as well as the 65 to 71 Mustangs...the 64.5 used the 170ci. My mom had a sweet 79 White Mustang Ghia with a straight 6. The engine was called the "Falcon Six" and was made at the Lima plant. There were 4 displacements,a 144, 170, 200 and 250ci. The 250 was also used in the Mustang from 69 to about 72. The 6 that you mentioned was built in Cleveland from the mid-60s to the mid-90s. That one started off as a 240ci and ended as a 4.9l. As you said it was one hell of a motor. I knew somebody that had one in an F150 with well over 200K on the odo with just regular maintenance.
BTW, the straight 6 to v8 is a serious swap, needing new motor mounts and crossmembers, etc...but I digress...
SoonerLS April 15th, 2006, 01:36 AM Well, hell's bells, I do not remember that engine. I used to know all of Ford's engines fromt he '60s on, but I guess that memory must've been replaced by something useful. My apologies, Slow...
J3FF April 15th, 2006, 01:51 PM Wont the Cat. converter just make it louder than the stock? It wont show any power will it?
00_slow_5spd_ls April 15th, 2006, 03:08 PM im not sure if im going to get any performance over stock, the reason i bought the magnaflows, was thewy were very good priced. i needed one knew converter so why not buy two and i hate oem ford parts so aftermarket was the way to go, ill let you guys know how it tunred out. no one ever answered me for that tranny. hmm
