    331 and 347 timeslips

    strokers Thanks for the reply. Actually the combo I was looking at only had a 234/240 with 112 Ls. It was very streetable but probably has too much torch to hook up with, unless I did not use the 6 spd and went with an auto. I've got the dyno sheets, made max power of 450 and torque 466 at less...

    331 and 347 timeslips

    stroker question Plan on 80% street and 20% track use. I plan on keeping my street tires on at the track if 315 or 335 would be enough to grip. I plan on having a/c and power steering. I have the opportunity to buy a 418 with sportsman block, hyd roller cam, injectors, fast efi, hogan intake...

    331 and 347 timeslips

    Wondering what some of your et's are. Debating on whether or not to bother with an aftermarket 302 block. My goals are 12.0 and it must be super streetable and be able to run very long distances without overheating. Several people have said that would be easy with either motor. I have thought of...

    full frame replacement for our unibody cars

    I don't know if I should butt in, but I talked to a guy at Art Morison's shop and he gave me a number that installs such projects. I am in Houston and so is this fella. So, I called him up and ask him what we would be looking at as far as price. He told me for 9k he could frame my car, mock up...

    Calling all body guys

    mustang repair Thanks for the reply. I do have the space for it and torches, cut offs, welders, grinders, ets.. The reason I'm considering this is that I got Billy Jacked on a mini tub on my car. I'm getting very tired of being taken advantage of in this society. I had a body shop quote me...

    Calling all body guys

    I have pretty much decided to try doing some of the body work on my car. (67 fastback) What need to be repaired isn't going to be a cake walk though. Lower portion of firewall Both full front frame rails Drivers side torque box Drain openings on both sides of cowl One body guy suggested...

    Engine bay paint is on. Kandy brandywine.

    I have thought about that color before. There's a pro street S-10 in the Houston area that has that color. I am a little confused, because his looks a cross between black, maroon, and brown. He told me he used brandywine but with a grey undercoat. Truck looks totally awesome, but I only have a...

    Moving leaf springs for bigger tires.

    I searched around for quite awhile for a mini tub kit, but could not find one. I had a guy help me with my tub job. We welded chrome moly between the frame rail to make the new spring hangers. This tubing was welded to a plate that was welded to the inside of the frame rail. Next we took some...

    New efi engine Fit Question

    Marshal, wondering were I could get some more information on the mods. you did on your motor. Just getting started on my 67 fastback, but would really like to go 351W possibly without being forced to go cowl hood. This type ignition system/intake would be great. Any advice would be much...

    67 fastback motor mods.

    Thanks for the reply. If you were intalling a cowl for 67, who would you buy one from? There are several I have seen installed and most have terrible lines when finished out. About the power steering, I've got the global west coil over setup(uninstalled) but I feel if I don't go power r&p, I am...

    67 fastback motor mods.

    I might as well say go for it, with the 351. Edbert, got a couple questions for you. What kind of mileage do you get with that motor? Would you go with DSS again? Would you consider going with power R&P intead of manual. And how hard is it going to be getting headers and power r&p in my car...

    67 fastback motor mods.

    Surely they did all that for a reason. I would love to be able to pull it off, but I would probably be happier with a 302 base motor. Knowone must put EFI on 351W much in classics. Because I haven't talked to anyone who has. Thanks for the replies.

    Narrowing a 9” rear end on a 67 Fastback

    I was always told that you could not shorten 28 spline axles. Maybe this isn't true though.

    67 fastback motor mods.

    Has anyone pulled off putting a 351W with trickflow efi intakes under a stock hood of a 67 mustang? I know the Fastforward fastback did, but Troy is the only one I know of pulling this off. I have a roller block and would love to be able to put it in. I can't remember if I have ask this at this...

    Wondering how powdercoated wheels hold up against chipping or cratching.
