    429 in a 1967???

    Hey guys, I'm currently considering buying a 429 out of a '72 Thunderbird to put into my 67 fastback... Will this motor fit properly? Are there any major downfalls to it? I've seen plenty of 427 and 428 projects, but I can't remember seeing any 429's... mainly due to the fact that they...

    How do you heat your work area?

    Wow! Nice setup! I didn't know it got that cold in AZ.... how much did that unit run you?? I bet installation was murder on your wallet. -Tim -ps- I'd hate to see your electric/gas bill.... :)

    Really? For example?? Really? So you're saying that the stuff you piece together out-performs Total Control Products? What about the dozen other mustang parts companies that put in large amounts of $$ into research and testing on their setups...? Just because you make it yourself, it doesn't...

    Project Car Parts

    LMAO.... 99% of the people here are unimaginative. There are a very select few that actually go and MAKE their own parts that are completely unique. Everyone here just buys manufactured parts and puts them on their car. And yes, they look great and perform great as well (typically). This...

    Anybody want a step by step and pics of removing a tranny?

    I've done a transmission swap and recently pulled out EVERYTHING from my car for body detail work.... It's really not that hard, in fact I didn't even use a manual. Here are a few pics... go here to see them all: http://www.eleanorclub.com/photo/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=92...

    Or just ask me because I've already bought everything and I'm probable one of the few people that actually wanted to be as movie correct as possible. I even found the company that made exact Nitrous switch and go-baby-go pieces, then went and got my eleanor board members a group buy on it...

    mdjay/side skirts

    I'm a regular on customfastbackca.com and these guys haven't sold a bunch of ANYTHING to our members. A few scoops. There's a lot of talk and claims but so far there aren't people backing them up because they haven't purchased the pieces yet. I'm not saying they don't do a great job...

    Almost completed

    Wow.. I love the blue paint job.... Do you plan on putting on the Shelby front end though? You've got the scoops from what I can see, and the side decals stating GT-500... I'm not all for that hood, but I'm drooling over that 427W... You live close.... hmmm. I've got a 67 fastback as...

    Tach Type and Location

    No surprise.... I've got the Autometer Sport Comp Tach that was used in the movie Gone in 60 Seconds... Discontinued in 2002, but I found it new from Jegs.com. 10,000RPM w/ shift light. Don't mind the dirty interior or lack of door inserts... lol My interior is in a closet right...

    Where to buy engines?

    That's the thing, stake it all you want. I never said I knew more than you, but I DID say that I'd trust the Shelby Registry before you. And that's factual data vs. opinion. You need to chill out. All I did was post what I said I read to help answer the Q's I saw and you acted all smart-ass with...

    Where to buy engines?

    I was answering another member's questions, not trying to teach you anything. Sorry, I'll believe the Shelby registry's facts before I believe yours. -Tim

    Where to buy engines?

    Checked one of my books for the facts.. lol you guys got me wondering again whether I was right or wrong. Here they are: -1967 GT-500's had the 428ci POLICE INTERCEPTOR engine, NOT the Cobra Jet. -The 428ci PI engines DID have dual Holley 650cfm carburetors atop an aluminum medium-rise...

    Wow! Thanks for the replies guys! I've never said it, but you guys have been a MAJOR help with this project. Literally, 100% of the questions I come up with during this are directed to you guys first, because I know that if there's anyone I can trust with Mustang questions... it's you guys...

    Pics of my car if you're interested...

    Thanks for the compliment. This is my first classic car and I'm really proud at what I have accomplished considering it's all "for the first time". I have a couple hundred photos documenting the entire process of this car. I just doubt that people would really want to sift through them all...
