I know what you all mean about deciding to modify a 65 fastback, the decision was a lot easier for me as the previous owner had done quite a bit of modding to it already. That being said, I will hold on to the engine if it turns out to be the orginal one just in case. I don't ever plan to sell the car though so putting a 331 with a Kenny bell S/C probably isn't such a bad decision for me. I was seriously looking into putting a DOHC engine in my 65 but that would have required changing to a mustang II front suspension and I didn't want to give up my street force coil over suspension that I have put in. If you are looking for an alternative to the DOHC what about the 3V 4.6L engine out of the 05 mustangs?
