Ok, so my buddy found this somewhat derelict 67 Mustang convertible. Has, as far as we can tell, the factory V8. Im sure its been gone into at least once in its life, and Ill explain shortly. So far he has completely stripped it down, and fixed what he could, replaced what he had to, and has upgraded the suspension, the trans, and steering. Now the fun part. We pulled the engine apart Saturday to send the block off to the machine shop. (Hes doing a mild upgrade to the engine. ) As we got down to the rod caps, everything seemed good, until we pulled the rod caps off. All of the caps had been installed backwards! So, my question is, how in the world could this engine have survived, for who knows how long with the caps on backwards? (Were guessing the rebuild has about 45000 on it) Regardless, all new guts is going back in the block, but just wondering if and how it could have survived running like that. It did run before we pulled it out. Sure wished I had brought my phone with me that day! Id have pics to show ya!
