Cool!!! Keep us informed how it goes. Like others have said, it is great of you to do this for the original owner. Glad it is working out for both of you.

I had a guy I work with tell me he was looking for a K code to start a project. I found him one last year at Carlisle complete, disassembled and cleaned for $3300.00. His comment was "I don't want to spend that much".......... I quit looking for him!
Good luck with your project.

From what I heard, a lot of guys did that in 60s, especially with the GT-H cars. They would rent them, swap out the GT-H motor and put it into their own car for use.

If I was beatin' in a competition and it was for fun, I would say "hey, it's just for fun and to have a good time."

That is awesome, I am glad he got it back but sorry for you too.
I had a 1966 GT K Model Fastback with an original 271 hp 289. The engine was getting a little tired so we swapped a reg 225 hp 289 at a "supposedly" a friends house/shop until we were to rebuild it in 2-3-4 months. One day I went out to just make sure all was OK and a guy in Tacoma Washington named The Drone came over and told the shop owner it was NOT a very desirable engine but he wanted it.this Drone guy is a Shelby lover and knew he was stealing it from me, he has no ethics. This shop owner sold it to I'm for $200 dollars. To this day I would love to see this guy and take him to lunch. So I know how it feels and it is not very good and it DOES last 30 years I can testify to that! Still.
