    Swappin in the Suspension

    yea, I hear that's how it is up there. I actually have/had friends in the area, but they don't have mustangs. you can find pics online as well as measurements from the ground to the fender. www.mustangsteve.com has a Ride Height page wit that info. Keep in mind tire height as well. I can...

    Swappin in the Suspension

    I need new rear springs as well and am debating standard vs. mideyes. Since the 9" rear that is going in has the 3" tubes (not 2.5" tapers like my 8"), this will lower the car slightly. I think I may go with the standard 4 (gt) or 4.5 leaf setup and lowering blocks. If mideyes were to be too...

    Swappin in the Suspension

    A rear bar will add oversteer (back end wants to come around), not understeer (push).

    Historic's suspension set up.

    I'm not trying to be a "hater", but I would not use a plastic piece from Lowes as a lowering block in MY car. Nor would I feel comfortable recommending one to anyone else. I believe there has even been discussion over the problems running aluminum lowering blocks-- fatigue cracking. I'll use...

    Distributor for 347 in 65FB

    That question depends on how much you're willing to spend. I like the price/performance ratio offered by the Duraspark distributor, HEI module, TFI coil setup. I am still running a Pertronix though. Some sort of rev limiter would be nice. If your 347 has a roller cam, make sure to get a...

    New pics of the fastback...

    Cool! Similar to mine, a T code clone. Mine also was a 6cyl 3sp, red interior, but wimbleton white exterior and a DSO of Memphis, TN.

    66 bronco rearend

    if the bronco rear is small bearing and 28 spline, it should work as long as the splines engauge enough. compare the axles length and note the distance between the bearing and the axle "face" (where the drum/wheel sit). the extra 3/4" (you said the bronco is 58", the mustang is 57.25") may be...

    Almost ready to swap in my t5...Q's inside

    I think you can just get the flywheel redrilled for the 10.5" clutch. make sure whatever you get is 157 tooth. If you don't have a flywheel yet, you can buy a 157 tooth 28oz from summit or ebay. or get a 50oz late model flywheel rebalanced as mentioned. I had to shorten my driveshaft 3/4"...

    What are the most beautiful cars ever made??

    80's-90's Porsche 911 turbo. If I could afford one, its insurance, and maintenance, I think I'd have one.

    66 bronco rearend

    i think my 9" might be out or a bronco. it has good gears (3.70) and is a trac-lock. the tag was still on it, and it measures about 58" drum face to drum face. Pretty sure the pattern is 4.5 x 5. I think it's a small bearing housing too. it's 28 spline. I think Larry is right that the...

    opinions 1/4 mile times

    14's if u can get it to hook. Wheel hop will probably be your weakness (as well as your gear ratio). as is, id bet high 14's- low 15's.

    How do you change to 1.6 rockers?

    1.6's are stock and 1.7's are the "next step" IIRC, the 93 cobra had 1.7's. I think its those chevy guys that go from a 1.5 to a 1.6....

    posi or open?

    Where's this one at? Is it 55" backing plate to backing plate? If so that will be too wide. 65-66 are 52.25" backing plate to backing plate and 57.25" drum face to drum face. What's wrong with that 8"? The way i saw that my 9" was a LSD first was by the tag. The tag will have a '.' for...
