Period Correct Mustang Modding

I know this dances right on the edge of this forum's outer limits, but I figure the 'period correct' aspect might wrangle it back into the focal point of discussion. What was common place for the kids in the hay day of the 67-68 (heck even 64.5-66) Mustangs to do in an effort to customize and wring every ounce of horsepower from their little ponies?

I would think a lot of the 'C code' cars might seek out 4V intake manifolds and Holleys to help them breath a bit better or maybe squeeze a T-Bird/Galaxie motor in between the towers if ill-equipped. The almost stereotypical Torque Thrust D wheels are about all I can imagine for appearance changes, but that couldn't have been the only visual adjustment popular back then.

Anyone collect images or records of them, if so feel free to post them up?

 

No Mustangs this is a Traditional Hot Rod and Custom Forum...Lots of muscle car forums out there for you!

 

I used to restore Mustangs for a guy here . I also used to represent a Mustang repop store . How bout P- Miin me with specific requests as I used to photograph a lot of older Mustangs at shows for the store . scrubba

 

While not quite on topic for this board, you might dig up a collection of '64-'66 Car Craft magazines... They were absolutely Mustang crazy back then, and doing something cool with them almost every month through that time period.

 

unless you are building a drag car they spill all over the rules

 

Oh shit....here we go.

 

And then on the other hand, everyone on here goes Ga Ga when they pics of one powered by a cammer..
