    Hats off to the Founding Old Fogies

    I remember the list, back in HS in 96/97, it was a gold mine of info and friends! Dan Polk I think still lives in my town. I haven't seen him around in years though.

    Aluminum Radiator

    I've got a custom made griffin radiator, they have the plans for the II, but non on the shelf. You order it, they build it. I bought mine with the trans cooler built in. Not cheap though was I think about $500 after everything. It works though!

    Don't lift a 302 short block alone!!

    A friend of mine built his engine in the spare bedroom of his apartment, it took a small army to get a BBC down from the third story apartment. His neighbors were not impressed.

    V8 starters, revisited

    I never had a problem with starters, Ford starters are somewhat universal with automatics. Right now I've got one for a '94 mustang GT AOD in my II.

    Cam Advance for H.O

    It use to be back in the dark ages, it was a common practice to advance the cam slightly. This was because of emissions, retarding the cam brought the emissions down slightly. So advancing the timing of the cam may have made sense on an engine that may only see 5000rpm. Usually performance...

    Mustang II Member's rides

    My car is a 1977 Mustang Ghia, factory V8 car, with an auto. I purchased it when I was 16 back in 1996. It's been through countless changes, three engine builds (from the same block!!!) all in the name of being top dog on the street in my little city. The latest engine I built for it is a...

    So I crashed today...

    It's not that bad, I planned on going the the salvage yard today to get some parts, but wouldn't you know it's pouring outside. At this rate, winter will come first, and I'd be better off getting some fiberglass fenders. Oh well... One more video of a clean 6.70 pass, sorry the camera man...

    So I crashed today...

    Yeah, I won't be racing any more this year, not because I couldn't get it together, but I figure I need better axles, and I'm going to get some Drag lite rims for the thing. Dang all I wanted was a quick street car. Now it's getting ridiculous all the stuff needed to go fast. After this I'm...

    So I crashed today...

    I had high hopes of running what I set out to run, I was so desperately seeking a 6.6x in the 1/8th mile. The night before I ran a 6.83 getting in and out of the throttle trying to keep things under control (18 mb vid is...

    Electric Water Pump??

    I'm seriously considering an electric pump myself. It would be great to cool the engine off almost all the way before putting the car in the shop at night. Keep the heat out so it would stay cool.

    Performance Starter motor??

    I've tried 3 different mini starters. IMHO They're for race cars, since they like to heat soak bad. I'm now running a brand new autolight starter for a '90 mustang. Works like a champ. The older starters that ford used are pretty good too, at least they don't have that awful grind/whine like...

    Wide band air/fuel ratio gauges?

    I had an older cyberdyne afr gauge, yet I didn't feel like it was accurate enough. I don't know how the newer stuff is. One thing I strongly suggest is learing how to read plugs. This can tell you not only fuel ratio, but timing and heat range as well. Combine reading plugs with perhaps an...

    Rear end options

    8 inch for sure... currie makes aluminum center sections for them, richman makes gears, auborn makes limited slip diffs, powertrax no slip is a good unit (what I run), and i think you can still get a detroit locker. Oh and dutchman makes axles for them, and I think so does currie

    Rear end options

    Generally an 8 inch rear end is lighter than a 9 inch, I don't know much about the 8.8. But what I can tell you is the 8 inch is a pretty tough unit. My car sees ton of street use with stock 4 lug axles, and 6.9x passes down the 1/8th mile 1.55 60 fts pretty regularly. I know I need to...

    Blower Questions

    Those superchargers work well, lots of off the line grunt. I put together a 347 for a friend of mine, it had iron world products heads, a weak isky cam (he picked it out) 750 carb, etc... just under 400 rwhp, like 397 or something with the pulley that comes with the unit ( I think it was...

    show off your .................. gauges

    I did this a long time ago, I think late 90s. Anyway, I hit up the junk yard and got another gauge cluster and modified that. What you need to do is to pretty much hog out the factory gauge cluster for the new gauges to fit. To top it off, you also need to pretty much disassemble the new...

    Stock car wheels.

    I don't see why you couldn't register a legends car if it meets all DOT requirements for lights etc... Call it a kit car or something. Back to the stock car wheels. I'm seriously considering trying my cheater slicks on a new set of bart rims with no tubes in them. I originally was going...

    Headers known to Fit and Hit

    Hooker super comp headers get my vote, or a custom built set. I currently have a headman set, I'm not impressed with them, but it's all I've got right now, and no time left in the winter before racing to build a decent set.
