Classic Fords of the ’60s were rarely optioned with factory air conditioning (unless you are discussing high line vehicles like the Thunderbird or a Lincoln). The early A/C systems of the time period often bolted to the underdash area and hung down between the front seat passengers (a few non-Ford systems even mounted in the trunk!). Later in the decade, as the option’s popularity grew, Ford engineered in-dash A/C solutions for assembly-line-installed, factory-optioned systems.

You’ve probably heard the comment that the Mustang was derived from the Ford Falcon to save on engineering and design costs. While this is true, the Mustang is far from being a “re-skinned Falcon” as some say. All you have to do is ask a Falcon owner/builder or lay hands on a Falcon yourself. You’ll quickly see that, while similar, the Falcon is different enough from the Mustang that many popular Mustang upgrades flat out will not work on the Falcon, and thus Falcon-specific versions must be created. This is true of many components, including the suspension on the Falcon.

While the 427 FE engine often gets its share of fame when seen between two Mustang fenders, the Boss 429 is probably equally as popular. For a while, though, it was easier to build a 427, but thanks to Jon Kaase Racing Engines, it’s now more feasible to put the monstrous Boss engine back into your Mustang or classic Ford vehicle.
