    Which headers for my 68 with PS?

    I put Hedman headers on my '68. They fit and clear everything very well, but I did put the drop bracket on the frame where the power steering cyl. mounts. Pretty much no matter what brand of headers you use, you'll need the drop bracket. In my research, Hookers and Hedmans fit the best. Also, I...

    Anyone with the JME Instrument Cluster in a '68?

    How is the quality? Are they as nice as they say they are? Everything but the tach wire plugs right in to the stock wiring harness, is that true? For the price that they want for the Instrument Panel they had better be EXCELLENT quality, and almost install themselves!! hehe I haven't seen one in...

    in need of a new carb

    I put a Holley 570 Avenger electric choke carb with an Edelbrock performer intake on the stock 289 that was in my '68. The combination worked very well, the car ran great, and picked up substantial performance from the original 2 bbl. carb that came on it. The 570 is a vacuum secondary 4 barrel...

    Finally got the 331 running yesterday...It LIVES!!!

    I would recommend them. There are 3 guys in our Mustang club running they're engines including mine now, and all are very happy with 'em. They worked with me on what I wanted to put together and were helpful with all of my questions. It took about 3 weeks from the time I ordered it untill I...

    Finally got the 331 running yesterday...It LIVES!!!

    Haven't thought about that yet. I still have some work to do before I can take it out yet. At least the motor is in, broke-in and running. Hope to have it on the road in a week or so if all goes right. I bought the motor as a long block from DSS they built it to my specs and were very helpful...

    Finally got the 331 running yesterday...It LIVES!!!

    It's been a battle, but I finally got it put together, dropped it in the '68, and it's up and running. DSS 331 stroker lives!!! Broke the motor in with stock exhaust manifolds so as not to mess up the finish on the new coated headers. Dumped the oil and filter, and put in another 7 qts., set the...

    Headers & Torque Converters......

    I got a TCI Breakaway converter. I called TCI and gave 'em the specs on my engine, gearing, and how the car will be used and that's what they recommended. They said with my combination it should stall to about 2600, which is what I was looking for. I have Edelbrock Performer RPM 2.02 valve...

    Headers & Torque Converters......

    This car is a street performance / show / cruiser, not a race car. It will also see alot of highway miles, as we travel to alot of cruises and events. Not sure that would warrant a custom converter. I was thinking about a B&M Holeshot 2400, or TCI's version of it. Anyone have any expierence with...

    Headers & Torque Converters......

    Guys, I'm waiting for my 331 longblock to get done and I need to know what headers fit the best in a '68 with a 302 block and a C-4 auto....Hedman, or Hooker Comps. Also I'm going with a 2500 or so stall converter, and need some advice on which one. What do you suggest???? Thanks.

    Help, '68 289 died, neen info on crate motors, and installation!!!

    After looking at several of the crate motors, it looks like most would have to be modified to some extent to drop in the '68. Finally after a few calls to DSS Racing, I have a 331 stroker long block on the way that I can button up and should drop into the Fastback and bolt up to all the things...

    Help, '68 289 died, neen info on crate motors, and installation!!!

    Thanks Craig. I'll give Coast a call and see what they have to say. DSS is on the list also. I thought the '68 was a 28 oz. Wouldn't I need a 28 oz balancer with the flexplate for the auto, and the crate motor comes with a 50 and a flywheel for a manual? Any one else have any suggestions? I'm up...

    Help, '68 289 died, neen info on crate motors, and installation!!!

    Help, '68 289 died, need info on crate motors, and installation!!! The 289 in my '68 fastback just jumped timing, and it's not pretty. I'm going to put it in a corner just because it's the original engine, but a 302 crate motor is going in. It's not a race car, but street performance / cruiser...

    I got both rear full quarter panels for a '67 coupe I was working on from NPD. The quality was very good and they fit up very nice also. Although I don't have a lot of expierence with body panels, my friend that was helping me with it has been a body man and painter for 30 years and he was...

    C4 Trans leak from shifter arm shaft....

    Thanks guys. I'll try an o-ring behind the kickdown lever first, but I'm pretty sure it's the shift shaft seal. Glad to hear I can change it from under the car! :nice: It used to leak just a drop every now and then. I installed a B&M Megashifter, and since bolting on the new brackets, and...

    C4 Trans leak from shifter arm shaft....

    My C4 is leaking from the shift arm shaft. Looks like the trans has come apart to change the seal. Tell me it isn't so, and there's a way to fix it without dropping the tranny out and tearing it apart! :Damnit:
