Thanks Veronica, I knew you could help.. The car now has a 289, how would I go about finding out what year it is. Also, I was talking to a friend about maybe putting a 302 in the car.. He suggested a 302 out of a explorer over the mustang, besides the mustangs (302) possible abuse, do you know the reason the explorer 302 would be better? He told me what it was, but just wanted to see if you knew the same info....Thanks again for the vin# details...
