news car over cliff image
Tasso
I'm restoring a 71 mustang with a 79 351 m in it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The vehicle is in bad shape and I'll be thrilled if I can just get it turning over/running.
Answer
I had a number of fords from that time period I had a cougar xr7 with a built 351 windsor that was one tire smoking bad boy at the time and while I managed to stay under the police radar in it the car was too fast for me being young and I managed to bash it into a cliff and a big tree stump which finnished it off. There were either a 351 w or windsor in the fords in the late 60s early 70s or the 351 C or cleveland. The windsor was about 400 lbs lighter which made it more desirable for hot rodders but both engines were good and did good on gas as long as you kept your foot off the floor.
Late 70s ford came out with the modified for the smog bs. It sucked lacked power and while it made emissions it was not very good because the detuned the heads and did some other wierd sh it.
My question for you is do you live in an area where emissions is required? and if so what is the cut off year? if you dont have to put that modified back in dont. There are a lot of other better motors and many newer fuel injected motor and tranny combos can be had from a wrecking yard standpoint with low miles for not a whole lot of money. Anything newer fuel injected will come with the wire harnesses and transmission to make the swap a lot more fun and less hassle.
If you plan to do a 351 on a budget consider some performance heads and a 50 state legal cam a new carb and a a dual exhaust this will give you plenty of power and stll get through emissions. The good news is emissions in 79 were pitiful by todays standars that is why I brought up a late model fuel injection they pass with flying colors compared to a carb and the gas mileage is better too. food for though. There are some good companies who have mustang parts here are a few links The better more well known ones have a reputation they won the hard way and while the parts are not cheap they are either as the factory made them or even better in many cases so you at least get what you pay for. you can also drop in a factory new crate motor for under 2 grand from fordracing website and there are plenty of others . summitracing has lots of engine parts Jegs does and if you want to make you a bad to the bone wild stang go look at roush http://dealers.roushperformance.com/
year one is another dynamite parts warehouse the link https://www.yearone.com/Catalog/1979-04-Mustang and have previewed on several well known shows like overhauling with chip foose and a outfit called SMC or super muscle cars out of south los angeles that specializes in rare big block muscle cars with all new modern running gear. I saw one show where they put a a 440 big block in a dodge dart which was amazing as it was not supposed to fit. being as the dart is not a full size car.(man that had to be fun to drive though ! )

How many people died on the way to camino each year? Where can I find the data?
Gao
I am doing research on camino de santiago these days. There used to be many pilgrims died because of disease and accidents. How about nowadays? Can anyone give me any information or websites about the data please? Thank you so much.
Answer
I'm really not sure that anyone would keep statistics of the number of pilgrims dying on their way to Santiago de Compostela. The main reason being that these deaths are the responsibility of the local area the pilgrim was in at the time of death, it's not the sort of information collated on a country-wide basis. There are many Camino routes through Spain that would need to be looked at, plus those routes through France that converge on the Spanish border, and through other European countries on the way to France, not forgetting the route through Portugal. All in all it's quite a wide network.
Pilgrims do still die on the Camino, mainly on the Camino Frances, that's the busiest route. Death is usually due to road accidents, heart attack, and exposure. Ths year, two pilgrims died in September after being hit by a car; one pilgrim died of a stroke in June; one died on the Camino Norte due to an illness. In March, a pilgrim's body was found on the Route Napoleon, over the Pyrenees. He fell over a cliff, possibly in thick fog. Last year two pilgrims died from exposure during blizzards in January and March in the same area.
The Pilgrim Office in Santiago de Compostela might possibly have data, but they generally only record details of those pilgrims that made it to Santiago and are claiming their Compostela: http://peregrinossantiago.es/eng/pilgrims-office/contact-us/
Or you could do a Google search on 'deaths on the camino de santiago'. Also, have a look at Camino websites where this sort of news is reported. Try http://www.caminodesantiago.me and http://www.csj.org.uk
