So another boat was officially added today. '71 Mustang with a 302 HM (9.5 to - Reid says this is good). Everything appears to be there and as always.......it was running great when we put it up 2 years ago.

Greg,
It's fantastic another CC makes it in good hands in the CCfan family!  Take a good look at the integrity of the aft lifting ring mounting. It looks like the top side is bent. |

That is a nice find Greg. Make sure you check out the water pump,parts are getting hard to find. Also check that the rubber spider is in place between the crank drive and the pump. I assume Reid ment that the compression is not too high? Mine is tagged at 9.3

HW is right,just the hoses pulled off. Only thing that's odd is the double sheeved crank pulley,as long as the alternator is aligned it does not matter but it must have been changed at one time and the fuel pump has been changed too,but none of the originals were marine either.

Glad to see someone finally snatched that one up - looks as if the heads have been replaced at some point so I wouldn't make any bets on the current compression ratio. If you ever decide to get the interior replaced maybe we can get a two for one deal - I'll take my set in white.

Greg, this was a great move. Sure your family will miss the use of the beautiful 2005 - 206 that you picked up last year, but think of the fun that my family will have with that 2005 206 next summer since you will be enjoying this sweet ride.
You are a giver, Donald

Thanks everyone - I am sure that there will be many surprises with this gem. Will try to start it up next time I am home for a bit. Think it will get some mystery oil in the cylinders tomorrow for good measure and then some fresh oil, fresh gas (temp gas can method) and new impeller and see what happens....

Not sure that this is one that you may have seen advertised elsewhere. Was sitting in a driveway with the for sale sign on the bow stop - have not seen this on CL. Thinking that I got a pretty good deal. |

There was a similar looking one on raliegh CL Greg, I'm guessing it's one and the same? Good looking boat either way!
Gary, the HM's dropped to a plebeian 8.5:1 around the same time the circ pump was added in late 72 or '73 per Reid... Probably what he meant on this being slightly more desirable (though joe could very well be right about the heads). |

Seeing that Johns is marked 10.5 to 1 it had me confused but in retrospect Tim I suppose the lower compression was done at the same time across the automotive product line to lower emissions

I wonder what the CR was on the automotive blocks in 72/73? Did HM go along with other marinizers and just add the needed bolt on's to build a marine engine? That would explain the circ pump as well - no special block off plate needed. |

Automotive 302's were 9.5 in 70 9 in 71 8.5 in 72 8 in 73. 351 4v Clevelands went from 11 to 1 to 8 in the same time period! Not following you on the pump though, the front mount was also the block off plate anyway. They must have just bolted the pump on to the front of the plate and eliminated the Y pipe

Gary, The marinizers during the later years went to getting the circ pumps along with the basic engines. That way they didn't need ether a casting or plate to bolt on where the circ pump goes. |

John / Gary / Joe / Others
On your plug wires - did you go with angled boots or straight. Seems like the straights are VERY tight to the manifolds and are a son of a gun to remove - |

Greg in your other thread I posted a couple of pic's,in the last one all the way to the right you can see one plug end,it is a short 90. I used short 90's on the cap end too.

Gary, do you think the plug wire fitment is the same for the original heads with the angled plugs?
