    timing belt broke! need help

    I'm sure we all have our own ways of changing this belt but seeing how 65ShelbyClone gave his method I thought I'd mention that I've never removed the crank pulley or water pump pulley to change the timing belt. I remove the serpentine belt, then the serpentine belt pulley, then I can wedge...

    Coil overs?

    I didn't realize they would need rebuilt often, there goes that idea, I don't need my suspension to require more maintenance than my motor :). $210 isn't bad for adjustable Koni's. I could get some fox springs (they're more common) and trim those down and these Koni's, that should do me well...

    Coil overs?

    I'm getting a little sick of "hot-rod only" II parts. I mean, if they're going to call it a II front end then the parts should fit on a 74-78 Mustang. Anyways, I was looking for a set of coil-overs for my II. I found some from summit in the range of $380 and was considering it, but there...

    2.3 Turbo intercooler plumbinb

    That's what I was wondering, whether to go through the fenders or not. I don't have to worry about an air meter, I'm going MegaSquirt II very soon and will use the stock small VAM until then (non blow-through). I Finally got a T-5 in the car, what a world of difference it make. That RAD-4...

    timing belt broke! need help

    A nice trick to getting the cam aligned perfectly: Bring motor to TDC, use a piece of string and match the ends up to the center of the cam pulley bolt and the auxiliary shaft pulley bolt, then align the cam marker to trace that same line. After you have the belt installed and tightened double...

    looking for brake parts

    Well, I removed it from the car because it stunk so bad. That about answers it? The car sat for quite a few years, the previous owner apparently using it to store car parts. Oil stains and just that dirty garage smell.

    2.3 Turbo intercooler plumbinb

    Okay, I know a few of you out there have 2.3T's, can I see what you've done for your intercooler plumbing? I'm trying to figure out the best way to run the least amount of pipe, but each option has me cutting into the front support or running long tubes through the fenders.

    Were can i pick up a intercooler???

    There's another point to be made here. Stinger's web site has a TON of information about doing the swap. He has definitively contributed to the 2.3 turbo development, and there's something to be said about that. You spent $1600 on a Sony X-plode sound system and $550 is too much for a bolt in...

    Rear bumper wanted

    I have a rear bumper in good condition, it's already red :). But it is scratched up, nothing some paint can't fix. I'm going to be parting out my 78 Coupe in favor of a 78 T-Top so I would LOVE to have the few salvageable pieces off the Coupe go to a good home and not a scrap yard.

    looking for brake parts

    How much of a rush are you in? I'm picking up a new 78 T-Top this Sunday to transplant my drive train into, my original 78 Coupe will be parted out since the interior is so shot and other rust parts it's not worth repairing. I'll have the lines in great shape, but I won't be able to get them...

    Were can i pick up a intercooler???

    Yeah, that $550 includes all the piping for a near bolt-in. However, there's nothing wrong with saving some coin and doing it yourself. EBay has some nice Bar and Plate I/C's for the $130 range (+/- depending on size), these are just as good as any of the other's I've seen. The Volvo I/C is a...

    2.3 turbo in a II?

    I think you're the guy I ran into the other day at Zips. I have a 78 Mustang II with a 2.3 Turbo, but it's EFI. I run with a good set of 2.3 turbo guys here in town, I get hell for driving a Mustang II instead of a Merkur but whatever; I like being different. I'm picking up another II this...

    Packin' a Paxton!

    Anything will fit with a larger enough mallet or an angle grinder. Hell, who would have thought that a twin turbo 383 would fit in a Pinto?

    Two trails of rubber from my II, thought I had an open rear.

    Okay, it's an open. I rotated the drivers tire and the passengers tire moved in the opposite direction. I was just wondering why I had two strips of rubber. Oh well.

    Adjusting clutch pedal travel

    The clutch pedal in my Mustang has a very long travel, sits very high (compared to the brake) and is super easy to press. I have a stage 3 clutch and pressure plate. I was wondering if anyone has moved the clutch pivot point so the lever's ratios were increased on the clutch cable end. If...

    Two trails of rubber from my II, thought I had an open rear.

    As I' getting more comfortable with my 2.3 Turbo Mustang II, I started laying some rubber today working on launch techniques for my first trip to the track this Friday. I noticed that I had 2 paths of rubber, but I was pretty certain that I had an 8" rear with 3.40:1 gears (so says the door...

    V6 Turbo II

    I love that car, especially the gauge cluster and fender flares.

    is this an SVO turbo???

    Merkur's are water cooled. I *think* all Merkur's came with .63 A/R turbo's. It's probably an early T-Bird turbo.

    Motor Mounts

    I was looking for some poly stock to rebuild my mounts with. I have 2.3 mounts though, different than what most of you need. The stock rubber is so loose that I actually have my upper intake rubbing my hood some times. Oh, well, keep it above 6000rpm's and I'm find :). Does anyone have the...
