Been there, done that:
'65 mustang 289 w/ C4 green dot. -fish tailed alot.
'54 F-1 w/ OEM overhead valve V8 - Complete with poor oiling to the valves...
Don't get me started with Fords. I have never liked them and both of those cars were "family" cars that I restored with the intent of selling. The Mustang was crazy fast and it was just a 2bbl. 289 ci. all OEM with 14K original miles when I got it. Still had the factory tires / coil / brake shoes / drums on it when I got it.
Sold it for 8K in 1998. If I had it now it would have been a BJackson Car / Seriously.
