    Which 66 Mustangs came with the disc-brake option?

    I trying to find production numbers for the mustangs that came with disc brakes and would also like to know if it was only available on the GTs or if it came on regular mustangs. I have an A code fastback without the GT setup. Did cars like mine ever come with discs??

    Header straight into glasspack Qs?

    i had the super turbo dynomaxs and they sounded decent. they would quiet off on the freeway and get loud under acceleraction. i eventually bought the 2-chambers and WOW, that hollow/throaty sound of the flowmasters is a darn good sound. though it gets loud outside, i never get headaches. this...

    Header straight into glasspack Qs?

    The statement on the Jegs website about back pressure is only a good thing if you are running at higher RPMs. An engine does not run at one RPM or at one load amount. On a 289, backpressure can be your friend when you are taking off from the line. Without backpressure, you lose effects like...

    I am currently upgrading to an original style setup COMPLETE for around the price of the wilwood kit. With wilwood and others, you still have to buy hoses, master cylinder, and the proportioning valve. I mainly wanted to say that an original style setup can be done at a reasonable cost. I...

    428 Cobra Jet stroker help

    the 428 already has a 4" stroke. youre going to need a lot of strengthening if you want to take a 4"+ crank up to 6000 rpm (splayed main caps, strong conecting arms, etc.) i would spend my money on ways to make the 428 more efficient, not more displacement.

    Should I be able to hit 13's?

    i meant heavier than mine, a 66 fastback, but that weight seems reall close to mine. youre still lighter than him, i think you can get it in 13s

    Should I be able to hit 13's?

    Looks to me like you have a similar combo as my engine, though you will have a slightly higher mid range and less bottom end as mine. I ran about as fast as his, and recomend you get some slicks if you really want to drop into 13s. Even though you have a heavier car, running the right size...

    im looking into adding discs to my fastback and it seems that you can buy the caliper mounts for $51 each from www.npdlink.com that bolt right up to your original spindle when it comes to the spindles and rotors, im still looking for original or reproduction parts and not a granada or 1970s...

    1/4 mile times with stock C4 stock converter

    i went to the track, but was disapointed at my 1/4 mile times. i know there are lots of factors that are keeping me from going faster, but im currious to know what times other guys are running with a stock stall C4. i ran a 14.8sec at 94mph, so at least i got myself into the 14s from the...
