    Drop-base air cleaner

    Nothing is simple in this project. The 1.25 in. drop base interferes with the throttle linkage. I ordered a 7/8th in. drop base (K&N) plus a 1/2 in. spacer (Mr. Gasket). Hopefully one setup will clear. I also have obtained a 2 in tall filter (also Mr. Gasket). I am hoping to have more...

    351W / '67 FB, radiator

    :flag: I have my 351W in my '67 FB. It was a close fit, helped by Ron Morris adjustable motor mounts. Now I need some advice on a radiator. The engine has a lower/driver's side H2O pump intake and an upper/passenger side outflow. The stock '67 radiator (289) has upper and lower on the pass...

    Variable Exhaust Note

    Thanks guys for all the input. I fully appreciate comments, even if they are negative. My goal is to have a muscle car with a throaty note that won't upset my neighbors or solicit tickets when I pull in at night. A cutout to ambient air would be loud and nasty I am sure. I did some web...

    Variable Exhaust Note

    :flag: I don't think I have seen this discussed before. I read a while ago on the net about a muffler that had a bypass valve inside (electrical switch) that went from muffled to straight through. Anybody ever had one or knows anything? I want a "Bullitt" sound for fun but a quiet note...

    Thanks to JerryS for his input. I took his advice and ordered a K&N 14 x 3 in with a 1.25 drop base. Hipobuzz

    Drop-base air cleaner

    :flag: My '67 FB is coming along. The 351W is in. The Heddman "Hedders" are mounted and don't seem to hit anything. I have an Edelbrock Performer (not air-gap) intake and Edelbrock 1405 carb (600 cfm, manual choke). I bought one of the Edelbrock "Triangle" air cleaners and it looked very...

    Help me choose a 351 Windsor

    :flag: Thanks guys. I like the idea of a remanufactured short block. I already have the carburetor so I'll start with that. I'm an old fart (3 grandkids) so maybe I can get away with the Flowmaster set up. Hipobuzz

    Help me choose a 351 Windsor

    :flag: I'm up to my ears in a '67 fastback restoration. I want it to look stock (Bullitt Highland Green) but have more modern performance. I have done coilovers, heavy antiroll bars, 4-wheel discs and Torq-Thrusts, subframe connectors. I have just installed a clutch pedal and Modern...

    Clutch and brake pedals unequal

    Talked to Dan Chockley (Sp?) at Chocostang. They provided the brake pedal. Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know this, but the power-assist brake pedal IS longer by 2.5 in. It does not use the same shaft as the clutch. It pivots on a 7/16th bolt that goes thru a hole high on the pedal...

    351W Headers

    I have been doing some research. JBA (JBA Performance Exhaust) makes a set of mid-length headers for the '67-'68 with the 351w and cable clutch. The only problem is that they are stainless and very pricey ($580 and $755 for stainless/ceramic. Hedman also makes a set for the "67'-68/351w (much...

    Clutch and brake pedals unequal

    :flag: I am converting a '67 auto to a T-5. The brake pedal I bought from Modern Driveline is 2.5 in. longer than the clutch pedal I bought from Chocostang. I plan to call both tomorrow but maybe somebody knows the answer to the mystery. The brake pedal is 16 in. from the center of the shaft...

    351W Headers

    68stang351, Sounds like we think alike. What headers (if any) did you use? Do you have a cable clutch linkage? I want a drivable (fairly tame) car that sounds tough. Thanks, Hipobuzz

    351W Headers

    :flag: I am restoring a '67 fastback: 351W, T-5, coilovers, discs. I am at the stage of converting from auto brake pedal to manual brake/clutch pedals. I have the pedal support out (my hands may someday heal). Pedals and Modern Driveline clutch cable are on the way. My question is: what...

    Automatic to Manual conversio0n

    Thanks for all the help. I have ordered a manual trans/power assist brake pedal (Chocostang). I also have a clutch pedal, needle-bearing kit and a cable setup coming from Modern Driveline. My plan is to use shorty headers. I'll post the results when I get it done. Hipobuzz

    Shock Tower Braces

    What is the difference between the two Maier braces ($240 vs $140)? I am guessing tube thickness but what is right for a street-driven car? Please more info (price, address) on the mdjay set up. Looks great. Hipobuzz

    Automatic to Manual conversio0n

    :flag: I am restoring a '67 mustang fastback which I bought as a shell. My plan is: 351 Windsor, T-5, discs, but original appearance. The car was a 289 with auto. I am at the stage of redoing the interior. I need to install a clutch system with a cable connection. Do I need to replace the...

    '67 Steering Box

    :flag: I am restoring a '67 fastback that I bought as a shell. Since I can't drive it, what is an acceptable amount of play in the steering box? Unfortunately, I have an early (long shaft) set up. It would be fairly easy to replace (or rebuild) the box now without the engine. It seems that...

    Anyone up for some still captures from "Bullitt"?

    Totally cool. You have revived one of my fondest dreams-- a Highland Green '68 GT390. Hipobuzz
