    351W w/ Z heads in '68 ?

    I'm looking at putting a Ford Racing 351W stroker in my '68. The first problem I see is finding headers that will fit the Z heads. Is anyone running a similar setup? What headers did you use? thanks!

    Tracking down a Shelby?

    My dad had 1968 GT-350 Convertible in the mid-70s. He sold it. I've never forgiven him, as I have fond memories of co-piloting that thing as a wee lad. Recently I asked him if he had the VIN, because I'd be curious to see if I could track it down. Lo and behold, he produced the original build...

    Wanted: Hi-Res Pics of '68 Shelby in Black or Acapulco Blue

    I'm getting close to needing to pick a paint color. I've got it down to Black or Acapulco Blue. Black is what I always wanted, but the car I bought at 15 was Acapulco blue and has been ever since. Tough call! Anyone have some nice hi-res pics of either in Shelby form? I have one set in...

    Pics of 17" Vintage 50s on a classic?

    I'm pondering these wheels, but I've never seen them in 17" actually on a car. Anyone got any pics? thanks!

    I jumped on the procar Rally seat bandwagon

    http://www.my68gt.com/gallery/seats I ended up custom ordering to get the Unique Performance stitch pattern without the Shelby signature on them. I figure he's not building my car, and with all his lawsuit crap lately, I don't want his name on it. :) It took me forever and a day to get...

    Fun with +0mm offset Bullitt wheels

    I've vacillated back and forth long enough on wheels for my '68 - I finally decided to make the plunge and buy one and test fit it. I wanted Bullitts, but didn't want to deal with the potential safety issues with spacers, so I bought a Verde Wheel Replicas Bullitt from...

    heavy duty shackle install snag

    Any ideas? :) On the passenger side, I had an extra 2-3 inches of clearance between the frame rail and the gas tank ... not exactly sure how I can get this bolt in?! I sure don't want to have to go back to the stock shackle on one side after I've already done the other side with the...

    Flex-A-Form Composite leaf spring install problem

    I finally got around to attempting the install on my Flex-A-Form composite leafs today, despite receiving them several months ago. Disassembly of the first side was a snap - surprisingly. I knew, of course, this meant I was doomed. :) Top spring - stock, bottom spring - FaF. I'm...

    Arizen racing seats?

    Anybody tried any of these? http://www.arizenracingsports.com/page/arizen/CTGY/Seats I've been leaning towards the Procar Elites, but I'd like something that has slots for harnesses after I (eventually) put a roll bar in. The Arizen seats look nice, but I haven't found many people using...

    9" rebuilder in Phoenix?

    I've got a fairly tired 9" with leaking axle and pinion seals. I figure if I'm going to get that taken care of, I should rebuild into something that can better handle the additional power I hope to install before TOO long. Anyone have any recommendations for someone in Phoenix that does...

    Mushy power brakes, Arizona Emissions

    First, WOOT! My Stang runs again. I'll post a movie soon. :) Now all I have to do is pass Arizona emissions. Any fellow AZ Mustangers know how difficult this is? Truly amazing that these idiots want testing on a 37 year old car. My first reaction was, holy crap, I forgot how MUSHY the...

    Grant wood wheel install?

    My original steering wheel is long gone, so I figured I'd use the ubiquitus grant wood classic. Everything went fine up to the horn button. The instructions say to push the horn button onto the fiber board piece by lining up the dimples. My dimples don't line up (3 holes, 4 posts?), and the...

    302 runs like POOP. Help! (long, rambling newbie)

    I'm continuing to try and get my '68 GT roadworthy, and having very little success. :( When I bought it, we struggled to get it running well enough for the trip home and failed, ended up towing it. We found lots of problems right off the bat - almost every vacuum port you could find was...

    '68 302 w/ 24" radiator fan shroud question

    Hi all, I'm a clueless newbie. I have recently repurchased the '68 GT fastback I drove as a kid that has been thoroughly trashed by the interim owners. As such, I expect I will be a frequent poster begging for help. :) It currently runs like crap, and one of the first things I'd like to get...
