    pics of my new sumped tank and fuel system

    AH man you upgraded the wrong parts back there........I see horse power in the making but no drivetrain or suspension to support it. I think you should raise the tank, maybe a spacer,, and try to stuff the pump in the back or front of the tank. Everything is looking good. Hopefully this...

    Resplining axles?

    Im pretty sure you can not respline truck axles to fit a car. the shaft diameter is too big and once you cut them down your left with soft cast iron for the splines. That and the bolt circle, register and flanges will need to be changed. You can either buy resplined axle from currie if they have...

    Resplining axles?

    You can only shorten and respline certain ford axles. most aftermarket axles have cut splines so can be shorten and resplined. If you want ford 31 spline axles for a stock width 65-66 mustang then unless you find the rare lincoln 31 spline short axle then your only choice will be new axles. The...

    going today to get some dyno number..

    Was the pull made in third or overdrive????? You have an Aod???. If anything the torque should be in the mid 300's. you may or may not gain much power but you should gain alot of torque and low rpm power over a 302.

    rear end questions

    You can have the large tube and small bearing 31 spline axles, thats what I have. You can keep your stock drive shaft if you use the short passenger car yoke, you will need to change the rear ujoint, it will now be the same as the front ujoint. Spring plates from a 67-70 will work..NOT the...

    More HP from my distributor?

    It only helps from idle to 3000 rpms in most cases. Your drivability will be affected, either good or bad, and not the peak power.

    Air fuel ratio (can you explain)

    the first dip into the 11-12's is probaly the accelerator pump shot and then the graph leans out maybe a bit too much and then guessing the secondary opens up to richen the mix at 3600-3700. you peak power should be good but the mid midrange could be better. high 12's are ok for a dyno pull.

    What stock '66 style motor mount (2 to chose from)

    the early mount are differnt from side to side and sit the engine lower than the later mounts. They also have their own frame mount brakets. the early mount has a stud that sits down in the frame mount and held down with a lock nut and washer, the later mounts use a long bolt that is installed...

    Should I narrow my rear end on my 66?

    If you want to run a 15x10 then you will need a weld drag light with a 7.5 backspace. Weld also has a 15x9 that has a 5.5 backspace but you would need to use a 26x9 slick.. And from what Ive heard Bogart can custom make a rim to your spec.

    Should I narrow my rear end on my 66?

    you should have no problem finding a deep backspace rim. I dont know how much room you will get with the inner fender mods but it should be atleast an inch or more. but if for some reason the axle doesnt look like it gonna fit then You would buy the rims and tires that you want and then narrow...

    Wanting to buy a cam...any suggestions?

    I personally couldnt see taking an engine apart for a big cam and not swap the heads for somthing better. A set of milled and ported 65-66 289 head would be nice with a comp270 or 280 cam. But gears and converter is what your gonna feel while cruising for action. I remember when my car had the...

    Wanting to buy a cam...any suggestions?

    Gears first, cam second. plan out what heads and exhaust you want and choose a cam that will work with them. You will have some performance increase with a big cam sound but till you install new heads/exhaust you wont feel the full potential. Those comp magnum cams seem real popular for...

    New dragstrip times

    Slide links do work, not suprising since they borrow the same design as the caltracs. caltracs are prbably the most used and proven bar. but you need a good spring and shock to make any bar work the way they should. I bought my caltracs, mono leafs and ranchos shocks for under 700 from calvert...

    New dragstrip times

    caltrac can set you up with bars, new leafs and good adjustable shocks. You ran pretty good times, suprised that the drag radials couldnt keep up, must have been poor track prep.your gonna need a short tire to work with the 3.55 gear, maybe an et drag, I use a 26x8.5 on a custom 14x7 steel rim.

    who can guess on what numbers i might run

    you have good chance to make 400rwhp. I dont think your intake, cam, carb and exhaust will get you there with only 347 cubes. And if you do step up the engine and install oxide the roller block might not live to long. Those hooker headers will work with your combo for now, they should fit the...

    Keeping cool in Miami heat

    I personaly think the copper/brass radiators cool better, they are just very heavy. You can use a five blade fan and fan clutch, similar to some factory a/c cars. You must have a goood fan shroud and it must fit tight aginst the raditator and the fan blade should be spaced so about half the...

    who can guess on what numbers i might run

    your stall should be good. the carb is a little small, it may need to be tuned a bit. the rear gear is probbaly a 3.00 or 3.25, it will work for your low rpm high torque engine setup. How did your car end up with the pre 66 engine mounts? Your gonna need the 66 and later mounts and brakets if...

    4 bolt V-belt pulley?

    I was gonna redrill my 3 bolt to fit a 4 bolt but the pulleys have a differnt backspace. I ended up with a 4 bolt from a 70 cleavland and had the two outer pulleys machined off to make in a single groove. March now has single and double groove underdrive pullyies that will fit just about any...
