    which staples for replacing convertible top??

    got it off ebay a few years ago when the ones at LMR were still astronomically priced. Just now putting it on because we've had other things going on in life and the car has just sat in a garage lol. yeah, we've taken a few staples with us to the hardware store and I guess ours is just out...

    explorer/mountie cam upgrade over stock?

    There's a 97 mountaineer 5.0 out in the u-pull and someone already ripped off the valvetrain leaving just the shortblock there for the picking. I'm in the process of pulling apart the engine in my 95 gt vert to replace the timing chain and thought maybe I would go ahead and get this cam if it's...

    which staples for replacing convertible top??

    alright, we pulled the old top off my brother's 96 vert and this weekend we're going to put the new top on. We're having a tough time figuring out what length staples to use on the top vanes where you're supposed to staple it back in after looping it through the vane...as well as on the front...

    mod motor retrofit kits??

    are there any companies making oil pan/motor&trans mount kits for putting mod motors in classic mustangs?? we're tossing around the idea of tossing a 4.6 of some sort into a 71 coupe but want to see what pre-fab options there are before we go to the trouble of whipping out the ole tig machine...

    usable parts on 88 Lincoln Mark VII?

    rearend should have a 8.8" locker in it, you can pop that out and sell it on ebay along with the gears (or sell the gears separately), the rear disc calipers are good for people with merkur's doing rear disc swaps but they're cheap at the parts store anyway. Front suspension is sometimes used...

    5.0 HO from 94 cougar into foxbody, mounts??

    yeah, that intake is only gonna be on it until the car fires up for the first time and while I go through any troubleshooting to make sure it's running correctly. I kept the old cougar intake manifold setup and already ported the lower manifold and have already cut the mushroom top off the...

    5.0 HO from 94 cougar into foxbody, mounts??

    wow, yeah...really old thread lol. engine has been in the car for a good little while now. I used the intake manifold setup from the 86 cougar 5.0 engine as well as the bracket setup from the same car. I grabbed an engine harness from an 89 5.0 5speed mustang as well as an a3m1 ecu...

    soooo angry right now

    he knows lots of people with towing yards and buys all their older (sat at the yard for a long time) cars and when he gets up to around 200 or so and the price of steel gets high enough, he crushes. he just crushed early this time to go ahead and redo their kitchen.

    1973 Convertible HELP

    Ill take your word on it. Its been so long since I've been under the dash of one might be mistaken. I just could have sworn there was something we capped in there?? oh hell, it was non-a/c equipped cars that got the cap over there when converting to a/c. because the two lever pull fresh...

    351c noise

    how are you sure its not the POS power steering pump deflecting the noise through the bracket?? I'd pull the belt off the power steering pump and see if it continues to do it. If it's the water pump then it's probably the snout bearing going bad. with the engine off just loosen the belt and...

    1973 Convertible HELP

    reread your first post and thought I'd add in. how far down is the car stripped?? shell?? if not you might want to completely pull out the dash while you're replacing stuff. seems you had quite a bit of rot on the car so you really need to check the cowl area out good. It's really known for...

    1973 Convertible HELP

    we did a few idiot light to gauge pac conversions when we were restoring 71-73's in the 90's. hate to tell you but you need to get a good underhood wiring harness as well. I cant fully remember since it's been about 14 years since the last conversion was done but I think the alternator harness...

    Boss 351 with auto and a/c ebay auction

    kind of interesting that they chose a wide ratio toploader option from the factory on that one... not to mention I cant believe they would swap out an engine from a pantera into it, same stupid engine. but who knows if that's true. probably blew the engine and had a service replacement put...

    Fold Down Seat Question

    that is all 71-73 fold down hardware. non-folddown cars did not fold down. the upper rear seat would slip down onto two clasps and hold firm. behind it would be the trunk and a huge pair of cross braces. no trapdoor. yeah, trapdoor opens into the trunk. stuff looks to be in decent...

    soooo angry right now

    well, it's partially my fault but whatever. I've got a few 4bolt clevelands that I've been saving since I was in high school. I had one that I tore down to find pitting in the cylinder wall of a few cylinders but it wasnt bad and could be bored out. well I set that on the side for a while and...
