    Fresh Painted engine (pics)

    Sadly I still have to get a tranny before I can even think about starting mine up. Maybe after christmas I'll have what I need? Anyone in the NC area want to donate a C4 to me? Not to Jack my own thread or anything... But... What do you guys think about the c4 and c6? Which one should...

    Fresh Painted engine (pics)

    They are only temporary anyway - but Im hoping she'll stick. I cleaned those puppies like i wanted to eat off of them. Then used the correct temp paint, and temp clear. Time will tell.. :)

    Fresh Painted engine (pics)

    My ride is a 68 but Im not following any "original standards" for my car. I figured ford got to build the mustang how they wanted all those years ago. Now I get to build the mustang I want. That red engine looks really nice.. Probably the nicest 6 I've seen.

    I did it!

    Learning was half the fun for me.. These old cars in my opinion are really easy to work on. Good luck and keep us posted on your project.

    Where do you have leaks? I went with the best possible gaskets, and seals from what I've heard. I guess time will tell though. I'll keep you guys posted.

    Fresh Painted engine (pics)

    Yeah, that was brought up to me earlier. The main reason I went with black is it just looks clean.. I like how an engine bay is all black and the engine is black, and the only thing you really see are the chrome parts and braided hoses. As far as leaks goes. EVERYTIHNG on this engine is brand...

    Fresh Painted engine (pics)

    Well I haven't been posting much on here, but I do alot of research here. Last post I made was of me pulling my engine. Well I've almost finished up my new 351W. Only things left to buy are the distributor, ignition, and tranny. Won't be long before my baby is back to life. Here are some...

    Some lil' updates to my 68.

    I figured since my drivetrain is almost complete (Just waiting on a few more parts and some $$$) I figured I'd start working on some of the little stuff that can be done. So I figured I'd post up some pics. Got some 01 seats... and finally painted my intake Started painting some OLD...

    Anyone seen a sealed cowl?

    couldn't you just weld something up and paint it black - I think it would look pretty much stock but get you where you want to be to run hidden wires. I've seen some people put their MSD box in there to hide it.

    Pulling the engine

    Everyone mentioned the major points.. I can tell you from just finishing this job myself. It was easy. I too never did a job like this, and it should be easier for you, as I was alone when pulling the engine. Took me about 1 hour or so. Good luck - post up some pics when your done.

    My new engine specs...

    I'm not looking for ONLY a loopy sound - i'd like some performance gains as well. Loopy sound is just a benefit. So I guess what you guys are saying though, is that this isn't as "wild" as a cam as the engine builder made it out to be. A 2-2500 stall would work for me, instead of the...

    My new engine specs...

    Thanks for the input. How do you guys like the cam? Any complaints? My only concern was if it is going to idle OK for street use. Bnickle - How do you llike your setup? Looks like you and I are pretty close to having the same engine (for the most part that is) Are you happy with the...

    My new engine specs...

    I finally found my print out of what I know went into my engine. This engine was a purchased remanufactured 351w 1989, then brought to a performace shop - I basically told the guy as much performance to this engine while using the stock heads (for now) for the amount of money I wanted to spend...

    351w Waterpump rotation?

    I'm finally getting around to buying the remaining engine parts I need to finisher the ol' girl up. I have a 1989 351w engine, what rotation water pump do I need? For some reason I think someone down the line mentioned reversed.. But how do I know for sure? Other Items I'm looking...
