No question, cool car for a cool actor.

That four hole carburetor gasket should be modified (cut open) to fit the intake manifold, or use a full open chamber gasket.

Here’s a little trivia. Did you know that in filming the movie, the big block Charger (440) had to slow down because the 390 Mustang could not keep up?

Mmmm I know a FE truck to install long tubes in less than 1.5 hours

Now I know why I went Chevy, so easy to swap engines and install headers.

Sorry but 9" inch ford rear gears don't come in 3.55 ratio, thats a gm ratio for a 12 bolt. Ford's ratio's were 3.25, 3.50, 3.70(used in trucks) 3.89, 3.91, 4.11, 4.30 for factory available gearing. NUFF SAID!!!!!!!!!!

True...and the Bullitt car was a early model 68 not a late model..I noticed the engine had adjustable valves.Nice feature but installed by some one over the years.
