Hi all. I just entered my 1968 GT/CS into the registry and uploaded a few pictures. My VIN is 8R01C156325 which should make it easy to find. I recently removed my engine, which is actually probably just fine, but my car has been running terrible and I needed a winter project up here in Alaska. I plan to replace all of the wiring, clean up the engine and engine compartment, and replace the carb which I think is the main source of running bad. Purests will gasp but next year I want to replace the C4 auto transmission with a T5 manual 5-speed to make the car more fun. I am also hoping to install a modern electronic ignition, headers, and other performance parts. I am toying with a custom instrument panel as well. My alternator gauge doesn't work at all and the fuel gauge is very inaccurate. I discovered that despite most of the engine numbers pointing to an original engine, the third digit was an "A" which says it's for a Galaxie. Should be a "Z" for a Mustang. I also have a 4-barrel carb when it should be a 2-barrel. The fact that it's not original helps with the "modify or keep original" decision. I, apparently, already don't have the original engine.
