Bob,
Thank you for another excellent reference book recommendation,
"Mustang & Ford Small Block V8, 1962-1969: Volumes 1 & 2 Combined, Bob
Mannel"
It is now apparently originally 2 volumes. Both are now combined into
one paperback (April '88), and is listed on Amazon.com for a lowly
$49.95. Since this is a rarer hard-to-find titles are not discounted and
are subject to an additional charge of $1.99 per book due to the extra
cost of ordering them.

or just search for "Bob Mannel"
