    clearancing headers while still installed?

    Mark it up with a shapie, and pull it out of the car. Bolt/clamp it to something solid and hammer away. I know you don't want to take it out, but I don't think you have any other choices.

    Random suspension questions (different than other thread)

    The link I sent you was for the 1" ones, but you can get 1/4" ones I saw when I went looking for the picture. You could also space up the spring perch by adding material between the perch and the control arm.......

    How useful are these supporting-role engine components?

    My mom had a 400M in a 74 Mercury Cougar that Ford rebuilt under warranty six times with this problem. My dad did it three times before he fixed the problem by adding another external oil line and installing oil feed restrictors. A buddy of mine commented that the only thing those engines...

    OIL PUMP SEIZES, BREAKING OIL PUMP SHAFT

    The HV pumps also use more horsepower to turn. I had the pressure relief stick open on my Melling HV pump. I replaced it with a standard one. No issues. If you break a ARP oil pump shaft, you've got big big issues.

    How useful are these supporting-role engine components?

    1) Aftermarket, SFI approved harmonic balancer - don't need 2) Windage tray - I'd use this, buy the Ford one 3) Stud girdle - don't need 4) High volume water pump or water pumps with impellers maybe 5) High capacity oil pan don't need 6) High volume oil pump don't need, hurts horsepower 7)...

    Random suspension questions (different than other thread)

    I'd be inclined to get the thicker poly spring insulators and switch to the roller bearing perches. Unless your power steering is a total wreck, I'd not be inclined to get rid of it. I have no idea what "up to the task means" but you can check your tie rods for play by yourself. I'm not...

    Recommendations for lowering the stance of my 65 FB?

    4 leaf reverse eye or mid eye rear springs. Do an Arning drop to the front, cut the front ones to match. Nice paint. Nicer garage.

    Hybrid Engine in '67 Mustang?

    I've called on the highest volume Toyota dealership in the nation for the past six years as a S___ O_ tool dealer. I never saw them work on one outside of the battery recall they did on the early '03 cars under warranty (the batteries weren't sealed correctly and would stink up the car, but...

    Hybrid Engine in '67 Mustang?

    There are so many obsticles to this project I can't begin to list them. Unless you've got an OE connection, I'd find something else to work on. I've owned my vintage Mustang since 1984, but compared to new cars it's not safe. For an occasional driver I'm pretty confortable, but there's no...

    More T-5 swap questions

    Put the tremac with the 2.25 first gear in it with 3.89s or 4.11s. It's what I wish I'd done. And now that I went to look for the PN, I can't find it. Maybe it never existed. http://www.moderndriveline.com/Technical_Bits/tremec.htm

    Can anyone help with this...?

    That elbow is a flow restrictor. It limits the water that can get into the heater core. I recomend you get another flow restrictor unless you enjoy replacing exploding heater cores every 2000 miles or so........

    Put a 2 degree shim in the rear end and road test the car. I'll cost you under 20 bucks.
