    Hood Delima

    I'm with dodgestang on this one. The 351W and stealth is supposed to fit under a stock hood. A Performer would fit maybe a tad better and a performerRPM isn't supposed to clear (not sure on that though). www.mustangsteve.com has a 351w and stealth under a 65 hood-- it's just really close.

    T5 swap. Have questions

    I used a t5 bellhousing and made a pivot spacer to use my old fork and z-bar setup. it works, but my zbar is mis-aligned and possibly bending. As soon as i can get the late model fork parts, i would like to switch to the hydraulic setup. i think i shortened my driveshaft 3/4". my toploader...

    Which distributor do I need ???

    For a roller cam: If you don't want to get an aftermarket dist (MSD) and you don't want to run points, get a duraspark distributor for a 1985 mustang GT 5-speed (not auto). these are for carbed cars that use duraspark. You could also get a steel gear put on your original distributor...

    spring plate help

    65-66 rears had a reduced diameter axle tube where the springs attached (2.5" diameter). I think that the later ones were 3" all the way. If you got got the 65-66 ones cheap, you could slot the holes and use them. If your car has staggared shocks (not sure if any 71's had that), they...

    Has anyone ever used water cooling on their PC ?

    I made my own setup years ago (jan 2000), before you could buy any of this stuff as a kit. It's overkill, but fun to tinker with. I have changed a few parts and cases over the years, but it still has the original radiator (a tranny cooler from kragen). It started as a celeron366 -> 550, then...

    Will I need a forged crank??

    500-550 HP out of a 302 is about the limit a stock block will put up with. Have you taken that into consideration? 500HP is an awful lot for a street cruiser-- and I don't think it would be too streetable, just MHO.

    Bad gas??

    Nah, I wasn't around in August. I'm only here for school (Cal Poly). Which show was it? I try to make it to the shows up here, but I never show my car (not worthy yet). --Tim

    Bad gas??

    Don't use shot from a shotgun, unless you count each ball. You could easily lose one or leave one in to cause problems. I hear a light chain works well.

    High rpm power loss problems, regards to air filters

    I always heard it had to do with how the air flows better with the filter base on. Kinda like a very short velocity stack (like on the webers-- those metal horn looking things on top). Some people think that w/o a filter the motor will have more power, but I think it's one of those...

    Time to buy that second car / daily driver

    a good friend of mine used to work at a BMW, Mercedes, Porsche place. You would not believe how much parts and labor is on those cars! It will be a long time before i get my 911turbo.... I'd stay away from small commuter cars as a very good friend of mine was killed in a 92 teg.

    What distributor to use?

    I have a 68 distributor in my roller cammed 302 (with steel gear) and a pertronix. Runs fine. When it dies, I think I will go with a Duraspark distributor (I think you need one from an 85 mustang gt -- duraspark and steel gear IIRC) and a GM HEI box. The duraspark box would work too, but the...

    sn95 disc brakes on classic mustang?

    awesome work imshaggy2000. I have been thinking about what you have made for a few weeks now. When I have some time, I was gonna make some caliper brackets for a 65-66 spindle that would allow the use of more modern components. Looks like you may have beat me to it. Good luck with your...

    What's my 4 speed toploader worth?

    I sold my wide ratio, small block toploader with bellhousing, hurst shifter, 164tooth flywheel (50oz), 10" clutch and pressure plate (decent shape) for $520. I was asking $600, but never got it. The tranny was fine, only quirk was the light grind into 2nd when really cold and shifted too...
