    Good Vendor/ Bad Vendor ???

    NPD is great fast shipping, large inentory, competively priced and just good people. Mustangs Plus and Mustang Depot are also great service oriented people. I buy with confidence from all three. Best tech advice seems to come from Mustangs Plus.

    Which aluminum raditor/fan combo for 68 FB?

    My Dad has a 68 vert. He put a PWR looks and works great fit right in. I think it came out of Australia via CA. It was cheaper than some of ther others. Although if you are running an auto trans you will have to use a seperate trans cooler. http://www.pwr-performance.com/auto_main.htm PWR...

    Did the machine shop screw me?

    sounds about right to me. what type of warranty is he putting on it? I had a 289 done about 2 years ago and they put a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty on it also. However, he also put heads on it.

This gave me plenty of clearance for the dual master cylinder. I used the stock proportining valve from the...

    Granada swap.....tie rod question

    I agree with p15c. the difference is weather or not you have power steering. On my 66 coupe I had power steering and had to use the tie rod end from mustangs plus. About six years ago I think I paid $125.00. So $80.00 is good. That is a special made part and I would not be comfortable with some...

    Amount of time for a I6 to 302 swap?

    If you already have the parts and the time to dedicate to it you could easily complete it over the summer. If you are only going to spend an hour or two here and there, it will take longer. If you spend some long days for a few weeks it will go fast. Do yourself a favor, Once it is all put back...

    In need of tire advice...

    Personally I have had bad experiences with firestone. I stray away from firestones since the mid 1980,s. But they probably have improved. The classic look of BF Goodrich radial TA's is always good, If you are lucky enough to find them. I think they stoped making the good ol TAs.

    Ahhh, the classic problem time or money but never both. I have been on both sides. It always seems that whichever situation I am in the other is better
