Mid 60's mustangs & shelby, some falcons had them not all thou

these motors were used till 68 I believe then that was the end of them. I think they started making them around 62-63

Most 64-68 Mustang, Torino, Falcon, Galaxie, Bronco, Fairlane, maybe Econoline? The 302 replaced the 289 in late 68.
