    Ride Height

    I just did alot of discussing front springs with Chassis engineering. Our coil springs are 14" long as required to achieve the nearly zero angle for the ball joints. That is the biggest problem with most of the street MII coils. They are built for streetrod geometry, thus are only 12" long. By...

    Post pics of your cars

    Mstng2, thanks. No the wing will not be there when I'm done. Actually I will probably go with the LX wing. There were not a whole lot of choices for wings back in 1985! I originally wanted the 3 piece to match the cobra front I got from Ford. I never could find one back then that wasn't mangled...

    Who Had their II before the internet?

    I got my 74 in 1982 for $2200. I remember how hard it was for parts even then. Especially for trying to hop up my 2.3. I remember CT II's first advertisements. You think percesion performance was a stretch. How about racing unlimited? That's where I got my wing in 1985. We are way better off...

    Starter Madness

    Are you sure your tranny case isn't cracked? I've seen one c-4, standard bellhousing that had that problem. Usually more common in c-6"s I would double check the starter's teeth engagement on one of your take out 141 tooth flywheel. Wouldn't be the first time that was screwed up by aftermarket...

    UNIVERSAL LAKEWOOD TRACTION BARS ON A II

    I did love them though. As a matter of fact they saved my car! long story short... towing frontwards on a two wheel dolly, moron cuts us off in snow in TX, car/van/dolly do about 360 or so. Unbeknownst to me at time really screwing up wheel studs. Driver change, roomate hits big NM pothole, away...

    UNIVERSAL LAKEWOOD TRACTION BARS ON A II

    What I was talking about was the lower spring perch/shock mount. When I mounted them up a waaaaay long time ago, my snubbers were right up close, worked well. However the bars were physically positioned with one ahead of the other a inch or so. I had to space the sway bar to be straight to look...

    THE PIED PIPER PART I

    Mine on the 351c are 2 into 1 behind the crossmember, 2 into 1 forward towards the rad, down and around , then 2 pipes into one. I am gonna redo that too when I reach that part of the car. I too am thinking about headers similar too the ones on that 4.6 cobra powered II.

    UNIVERSAL LAKEWOOD TRACTION BARS ON A II

    Did yours equl out side to side, or is that just a 74 thing? That was my problem on mine, everything else was okay. Looked good except for the inch or two difference, and snubbing at the spring mount, vice spring. I always liked mine, and ran the dual chrome stabalizing bar with the lights,all...

    Here's what the virtual body shop did for us

    Is that Ford light Blue? Looks good. Pretty close to my original changes to my coupe, minus the rims of course. Do you think the photoshop guys could add in a cobra r wing? I have been looking at a making a mach one center for the hood and thenthen CJ scoop up top, we'll see. A ways off yet. I...

    Restore or Scrap?

    Worst case scenario, there has been a nice white/blue cobra for sale last couple of days here, and a king over in Chimicum. I just can never seem to get rid of anything, only scrapped one car I ever owned.

    fox body wing

    Any body with a coupe want a new wing idea? Ihad some time to kill waiting for the por-15 to dry. Anyways I have been toying with ideas to replace my cicra 1985 wing. It has been in place since 85, needs to be replaced. I doubt i'd ever even find a replacement. Anyways just for kicks I tried mt...

    Cleavland In a II?

    Have you ever seen the size of 4v exhaust manifolds! They barely fit in the 71 that was it's former residence. Definetely looks like a hack job big time.

    Cleavland In a II?

    Mine is 351C4V powered. Being that it is a 74 presents the first problem- the radiator support. You can use 302 mounts, which allows the stock pan to just fit. The c-4 bellhousing is avery close fit. I originally used a monarch bellhousing. The exhaust is the really fun part. I would not...

    I need a new hood scoop, not sure what to get

    I think you would do better to have the center of the hood built up like a cowl induction etc. then run the scoop you like the best on the car. Then again I would seriously look into a lower base air cleaner or a linx with a K&N filter. I have seen way too many of those little foam filters melt...
