I installed the 2.8 V6 in Ol Blue over 10 years ago. The engine is a stock, low mileage unit from a 1977 Mustang Ii. The headers are from Jose. The tranny is a Toyota W58 five speed. The combination has served me well. I am beginning to do some upgrades. After searching for many years I finally found an Offy manifold in good condition. I also found a Carter AFB 4331s carburetor in good condition. I have a set of reconditioned heads with 2.9 valves. These items I will install on the existing engine - great compression, no leaks. I will upgrade the exhaust, finally running duals after all these years. I also located a good used 3.89 pumpkin to swap with the stock 4.22.
I had to relocate the fuel line and brake line from the stock location in the X frame. That job is finished and I can now drill a new hole for the 2nd exhaust pipe. Once finished a local exhaust/muffler shop will reconfigure the header to allow a more straight back exhaust system. I expect a bit more power and a better breathing engine when all is finished.
