    Steering box options for spear-o-matic removal

    I'm swapping out the long shaft, manual, quick ratio smb-b steering box in my early 67 stang for a short shaft compatible with the 68 collapsible column. Problem is I haven't been able to find the smb-c box that has a short shaft, 1" sector, and 16:1 ratio. My options are to get an smb-k...

    Forged pistons in '93 TRUCK motor

    Hey all, From my research I'm 99.9% sure but just wanted to get confirmation from some knowledgeable peeps. A '93 5.0 pulled from an F250 would not have had forged pistons correct? Thanks

    67 Wheel Stud Knurl

    Hi all. I'm getting the parts ready to finally install my Mustang Steve disc brake swap and have hit a snag with finding new studs. I've measured the studs that were pressed out of my drums and got a diameter of 5/8ths (.625) for the knurled part and 39/64ths (.609) for the smooth part of the...

    Shock Tower Crack Repair: Which Manual for Dimensions?

    Hey all. I was just "fortunate" enough while scraping underbody coating off my passenger shock tower interior (gotta love that gooey stuff) to find a nice pair of stress fractures. I've decided that I'll do the prep work of pulling the engine and realigning everything myself before having...

    289 / 302 4 Bolt Main Conversion?

    Hi all, I was recently reading an article on block selection Engine Blocks which casually mentioned that a 289 hipo 4 bolt main cap could be added to an ordinary block, but didn't go into any detail. A search (forums and google) hasn't revealed anything for a 289, just info on the conversion...

    Electric Pump + carb fuel regulator ?s

    Hi everyone. I'm doing a fairly long-term restomod on my 67 289 that will eventually involve a conversion to EFI. As things stand now I'd like to keep it carbed, but I need to replace the fuel system. My question is this, is it too much stress on a fuel regulator cutting down 45+ psi from an...

    Tri-Y Headers on an EFI engine?

    Hi all, I've been thinking about getting a set of Tri Y headers for the 289 in my '67. However, I'm a little concerned because on JBA's site the headers are listed for 64.5 -70 Mustangs. I just want to make sure they would work with later model engines, as an EFI swap is likely in the not too...

    Ron Morris Street Force vs TCP coilover

    Hi, I hate to ask this again because I know theres a post just like this buried somewhere in the forums, but after a couple hours search I still haven't found it. If anybody could answer the following queries or link me to an older discussion that would be fantastic. I'm trying to make a...

    Any way to identify if my bumper is OEM or repo?

    Hey everyone I just pulled my bumper today while removing the valence and a fender and after getting up close to it noticed the finish is looking pretty crappy. If its an original part I'd like to get it rechromed, otherwise I'd just as soon replace it with another repo. Should OEM parts have...

    Want to make sure these wheels / tires will fit

    Hi everybody. I just bought one of Mustang Steve's 2005 GT brake kits for my 67 coupe and therefore needed to upsize the stock 14" rims. I'd finally convinced myself that 17" rims wouldn't look too big and was planning on buying some 10th anniv. cobra wheels when I found a set of wheels that...

    Is this engine build even close to realistic?

    Hi everybody, I'm in the conceptualizing stages of an engine swap/build for my recently acquired 67 stang. I want to build up a blown 5.0 using Ford Racing's "new" Boss 302 block. My goals for this build are as follows: I want to make as much power as possible (a given right?) 500+ would be...

    What would be the best disc brake swap option for my situation?

    I've got a '67 with drums all around and I'm wanting to install disc brakes. As things stand now I'm pretty sure my spindles are cracked and/or bent so I'll have to get replace those regardless of what path I go. Would it be best to go with stock drum spindles and a conversion kit designed for...

    Is there any point to running bigger wheels in the back?

    I've heard of people around the internet running 16s up front and 18s in back or 18s and 20s and so on. I'm wondering if there's any benefit to this other than aesthetics. Also if anybody has some pics of their ride/any ride set up this way I'd like to see them. I don't think thats any kind of...

    Has anyone seen info on a late model IFS swap into a classic stang?

    I've dug around the interwebs a bit and haven't really come up with much. What I'd really like to do is get the coilovers and rack & pinion steering from a SN197 or a Cobra stuck upfront with a nice 8.8" rearend. Info at any technical level would be quite appreciated. I'm not an...
