    Coolant in oil

    That really blows! Sorry to hear the bad news. With the coolant being in the oil the first thing that would come to mind would be a head gasket or cracked head. Maybe a cracked intake manifold could cause this. With internal and external leakage in that general area that would be my best...

    78' King Cobra FS in Houston, TX.....

    I wish it were mine and if it were I would not be selling it. I don't know the owner and I have never seen it, but it looks like it could be a nice car at a good price ($4500). Sure wish it were around when I was looking! Anyhow here is the link in case anyone might be interested. If it's as...

    Big Brakes Are Here

    Although I do not really need the disc upgrade for the rear myself, I did do a little research a while back. I found a few kits out there. From what I understood any disc brake kit for either an 8" or small bearing 9" can be used on the 8" rear end. Some of the kits used Cadilac brakes which...

    tranny tunnel clearence

    I have a t-5 with Fox bell housing in mine. The only cutting was for the shifter location which moves closer to the dash. Look into a short throw shifter that is layed back as well. Also had to relocate the center console as well. Another consideration is if you have headers. The bigger...

    Do I need subframe conectors

    I don't think there is really a base line established for the chasis of the II. I think this would depend on a few other factors. One would be the condition of your existing sub frame and floor pans. Another other would be the type of traction you would be getting along with the transmission...

    76 Mustang II 5 lug conversion?

    I found a kit looking around on the internet that has a kit with 11" granada rotors, GM calipers, brackets and calipers for $239 plus $25 shipping. It might be a good option for someone looking to convert to 5 lugs and big brakes on a tighter budget. Has anyone used this kit? Anyone think it...

    Interior Question, II be a Cobra, or not II be, that is the question...

    I have seen that same interior in a 75 coupe or Ghia, don't remember which model it was. Do remember for certian that it was not a fastback. I woud agree that this is just part of a deluxe interior package. Probably have the long arm rest, map light, and split dash with clock? Also besides...

    What Color Of A Cobra Ii Looks Better} {poll!!!!!!

    You are right, That is awesome! Would love to see that in person. It's just paint, does not matter what cars a color has been used on in my opinion. The results are different on each application. What size wheels is he running? Looks like a 5 lug conversion. Is it as nice under the hood...

    What Color Of A Cobra Ii Looks Better} {poll!!!!!!

    Wow, I like the tangerine with white RickyD. Looks sharp! I have always wanted to try a color that I do not know the name of, but it is kind of coppery brown, burnt orange (I have seen prowlers, dodge trucks, and 350z in this color) with black stripes. Closed I have seen is the one in...

    Ghia thoughts.....

    That was a great looking car. I pulled the photo's into Photoshop and blew them up and adjusted out the colors and the condition was awesome. It was located about an hour from where I live and although I do not have the $$ I almost went to go look at it anyhow. Personally I thought it was a...

    Ok, who did it???

    Yes, the rest are talking about the hatchback panels. I decided I better start getting the word out that I need some for my Ghia. Probably can not afford NOS, just need some good used ones. The ones in my car were covered probably to hide cracks in the arm rest. :( I guess if no nice...

    Ok, who did it???

    Was not me either, but sure would like to find some nice white ones for my Ghia. Hard to believe there are still NOS parts like that around. Good luck on your search, if I run across any you will be the first to know.

    roller cam block

    77CobraII Why is it that you have to run 50oz balance in the roller blocks? You are probably right, but I thought that you could use 50oz, 28oz, or even a 0oz balance in any of the blocks just as long as the spinning internals were matched. I looked into upgrading my non-roller block to be...
