The information in this book is incredibly inaccurate. The first thing I will point out is... it is impossible to use a 289 ci intake manifold on a 351W block. That is the most obvious mistake I found, but there were plenty more. Whoever edited this book knows nothing about the topic. There were captions that didn't match the right pictures, interchange numbers that didn't match the chart and tons of others mistakes. I do not recommend this book for anyone. If the information that I KNOW is wrong, how much other information is wrong?

There was no information on the 6cyl engines, the 3spd transmission, or 4 lug wheels for the mustang or any other model for that matter. All drive line parts focused on V-8 engines (from the engine to the differential).

I have a 67 mustang that I want to swap over to a V8 (289-351) and wanted to know what needed to be changed. This book had no info for 6 cylinders. What ...[mad me mad] ...is that it doesn't say anywhere that it is for V8's only. If you have a 6 cylinder then don't buy this book....

I bought this book a while back and found it completely usless. I suggest you take a look at this book in person before you purchase it. It isn't the easiest book to use, is inacurate, and incomplete. You may have better luck asking someone at a parts counter for interchanbeable parts for your car.

This book needs revised and updated!

Very specific and detailed information about parts interchange. Great resource.

This book has several pieces of information. You can find just about any replacement/interchange you are looking for.

Although the book title mentions Mercury, it did not list a single item for my 1964 Mercury Comet. Further, it seems to concentrate only on the V-8 series and/or the Hot Rods of the mentioned models. Anyone restoring, fixing up, or repairing a daily driver that has a 6-cylinder engine and is NOT specifically mentioned in the title might find this book falls quite short and is lacking anything for you, as I did. My copy is going on sale on eBay shortly.

Well organized and comprehensive in its scope.

My son and I are starting a Mustang restoration project and this book has been very useful for some basic understanding of the Ford Mustang and more advanced informations concerning what parts from other models will fit. The illustrations make it all the more illuminating but there could be more. Overall I would rate this book as very cool.

would like to know if you can change the oil pump and pickup from the front of the engine to the back of the engine on a 1973 351 cleavland somebody plaese e mail info. thanks. (grandparent@northstate.net)
