    78 "Grenade" Project... Kinda Different

    I have a soft spot for Granolas. My Mom bought a new one in 1975 that was forest green with a tan interior and had a 302, auto, air. I always liked that car. You can search ebay for them, and find damn nice ones for under two grand. These cars have zero resale value and they are just a Mustang...

    HIDEOUS ABOMINATION on mag cover

    LOL...I have a couple of friends into that, and I have to admit, one of the most boring spectator events ever devised. The only people getting anything out of it are the people behind the wheel. Mustang panels on a Miata? Blech. It's like those Ferrari kits cars that are Fiero based. Double...

    WILL PISTONS HAVE TO BE NOTCHED?

    Ebery one turns out different Danny. Some engine will require cylinder notching, some not. My counterweights didn't require major notching, but they did hit the piston land right under the pin, which is very unusual. I had to pay for custom work to the crank to get it all to work. As for the...

    It's done...only took 6 years.

    You do good work Dolfan. I have to admit, seeing 69 stripes on a 70 kinda looks weird to me, but I am funky that way.

    Glass can be had new, and brackets are available at NPD, so you don't need a donor car.

    Rocker Arm Adjustment

    You should feel resistance when all the slack is taken up. The whole point is to have no slack, not feel a precise amount of resistance. Once you no longer have slack and start feeling resistance, than you do your 3/4 turn, or whatever spec you are using. You're right, you are being a bit anal...

    Can a harmonic balancer cause ..

    Most flywheels and flexplates have a bolt pattern that will only let you install them one way.

    Did I score or strike out on this engine?

    While the ports look huge, they have some funky angles around the valve. Check out this mold taken from factory 429 heads vs Edelbrock heads: http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2006/12/MakingMolds/index.php

    Head Change on new Ford 345HP crate engine

    I sell to many aftermarket vendors, and JC Whitney is one of them. In their lobby in Chicago, they have some of their original catalogs, dating back to the 50s. In the 50s, you could order one of two grinds: Full Race or 3/4 race. I think the 3/4 was just a vague fraction of how radical the...

    How must rust is too much?

    Well, it sounds as if this is the type car you want to end up with, but you still haven't answered the basic question. Is this going to be a project you are willing to do yourself? If not, you would be better off dumping it and getting a cleaner 68 coupe. Nice ones can still be had for under 10...

    How must rust is too much?

    It appears you bought a six cylinder spaghetti strainer. The car has no pedigree and will cost you far more to repair than it will be worth. If you want to use it as a learning tool and want to do all the work yourself over a period of years, it's just as good as any. If I were to start with a...

    budget 393

    I bought a Coast High Performance kit with specs like that. Some of the cylinder walls had to be notched, and the crank had counter weights that were too big and had to be machined down. That is unusual though. You may also run into problems with a high volume oil pump needing to be clearanced...
