Great video- love to see more like that with preservation approaches. I'd be interested in knowing what the detailer was using on the fender to remove and neutralize the rust in the stone chips but not damage the paint while doing it.  I've see people use Phosphoric acid (stronger but maybe leaves a residue) or Citric Acid (less strong) to neutralize and prep rust but I'd be worried about the paint.

Royce, any idea as to the origin of the non-original 427? They said it was from 1968.

It is my understanding that it is/was a 68 427 block ,CJ balancer I don't remember what the heads were. I don't think that there was any info other specific info other then it had been replaced after the 428 engine was blown by a previous owner. A friend was the appraiser and did the work.I have a call into him and waiting to hear back.

I heard back and was told it was a 68 427 shortblock and they apparently back in the day used the 67 GT500 heads ,balancer etc. It sounds like a service replacement shortblock but who knows. I guess it dosn't matter ether way.

Can anyone tell me where I might find a copy of the 1967 GT350/GT500 master assembly manual shown at the 2:00 minute mark?

Think Branda and Virginia Mustang both sell them

Branda sells it .I think Branda got them from the Vinman years ago. Branda took the collection of blueprint drawings and reduced the size so that they could be published in a smaller reference manual . I have a full size set acquired 25 years ago or more which is harder to manage. Some are useful some are not . For example they are not real accurate with many details but the drawings give a general idea. They are best used used along with other corroborating information or they may confuse more then help. Do not take every aspect of them at face value . Confirm all details .

Thanks for posting. Great to hear they found a correct motor and that acid wash on the paint had remarkable results
