69 Mustang SuperCoupe

[69stang]

Updating
Modified my cowl panel. Cut away the grill bars, welded 1/8 rod around the perimeter of the opening, tack welded 1/4-20 studs to the bottom side, stripped, skim coated, primed, sanded, primed. It'll get SS or aluminum screening.



Tacked rh quarter in place. Bumped out 2"



Pulled the heads and had them reworked with new valves, springs, seats & seals. Had them set up for roller rockers. Also picked up an Offenhauser dual plane intake, had some recommended machining done then cleaned. I painted the heads & intake with Eastwoods ceramic engine paint.





Pulled the block out of the car and finished disassembling. There was some surface rust in #2 & #4 cylinders. Number 6 piston has a broken ring groove wall between 2nd ring and oil ring. I don't know what happened to it, there was no rust in the cylinder and the piston slid out fine. I had forgotten my pistons had been knurled so I'm thinking I might be looking at minimal boring with the needed cylinder cleanup.
