    Timing Chain Cover

    You'll need to drain the coolant first from the lowest point you can, there are drain plugs on the sides of the block if they're not seized in there. It won't hurt to drain the oil as you will have to eventually since antifreeze will get into it when you remove the waterpump and timing cover...

    Tri-Y Vs Hedmann

    So the Hedmann's are long tube I'm guessing? If the Tri-Y's are stepped I think you'll get more power out of them for a street car. From all of the exh. threads I've been reading on different forums you can't beat stepped Tri-Y's for performance matching to a stock-mild built car used on the...

    Oil pan hitting steering middle steering arm

    Is it a front sump pan? I thought the serpentine motors were rear sump? An oil pan for the mustang should be a front sump and may give more clearance than the lincoln pan even if it is a front sump also. Also the difference in centerlinks, idler and pitman from I-6 to V8 are different as...

    Lowering Car

    That's pretty high, looks like it may have stock standard leafs in the rear and stock springs in the front. Same suggestions as earlier for the front, cut the springs or swap to 1" drop after doing the 1" shelby drop. For the rear you can try adding 1" lowering blocks between the leafs and the...

    Lowering Car

    Have you done the Shelby/Arning drop? DazeCars, Shelby Drop, Klaus Arning drop, upper control arm drop, Falcon, Mustang, Cougar 60-70 It will bring your front down 3/8"~1/2" but the drop is not the reason to do it, it improves alignment, steering, handling and tire grip. The drop is just a...

    lokar aod cable routing

    I don't know if Lokar prelubes the cables but I have had great luck with using a mountain bike cable luber ($10) to force lubrication into my speedo cable, brake cables, etc. You might want to ask for one at your local bike or dirtbike shop, it works great and forces the lube all the way out the...

    lokar aod cable routing

    These are about the best pics I can find at the moment that I saved from a forum (not mine). Trans shift lever points up, TV cable lever points down so they move opposite. Are yours moving together? I'll keep looking to see if I have more, mine's not hooked up yet. Jon

    Need to see 67/68 grille assy.

    Finally got back from a long list of errands, sorry it took so long. Let me know if you need a close up of any area. As you can see the lip of mine is bent up at the center, probably from an old collision.

    back to the future.....sorta..

    I too prefer the fat tire filled fenderwell look. Doogie67 your car almost looks like a 'Gasser' with those bulging tires, awesome look. It's funny how you can immediately spot if a car has 15 or 17" wheels at a glance, to me the spokes of the rims just get too long and the sidewall gets too...

    Best radiator

    I have a '67 with 289 and the 20" originally. I wanted something stock looking, the only alum. ones I found that didn't look like boxes on top were Griffin and $$$. I went with the '68 302 AC 24" radiator from NPD. It's a 3+ row, not sure what the + is as I can see 3 rows in the cap. You can...

    Need to see 67/68 grille assy.

    It's all off the car now and hanging in my shed. The silver surround is still attached to the lip under it and the headlight buckets. If you can PM me this weekend I should be able to pull it out, flip it over and take some pics. I'll forget otherwise. Jon

    accessory fuse panels

    Please take pics and notes if you do, plan the same thing for my '67 and a custom console and haven't looked at locations yet. I was thinking the same as you, somewhere at the back of the console or on the firewall maybe opposite the stock one on the passeger side matching. Jon

    Looking to make my '66 Coupe Stand out a little!

    I really like the idea of the speed car look with a 6 as you can still make the 6 pretty impressive. One of my favorite cars at our local cruise in is an early 60's box Nova 2dr. (dont' know my chevy yrs. that well) with tubs, rollbar, race gauges, etc. and an old 60's open face helmet on the...

    Impossible to find? Power Brake Booster to firewall Bracket

    I lucked out and a forum member had one he sold me, they're hard to find. You might keep an eye on fleabay, even if you find an old booster to buy for a core with the bracket on it it may be worth it....be sure to ask for/ search for bendix booster bracket if you post on many forums. Jon

    what lower control arm?

    My (early) '67 original LCA were riveted in. I tried repops but the bushing slid in the mount causing metal/metal rubbing in the mount. I bought the Moogs from Va Mustangs for $50ea. which was cheaper than the repops, quality and I had the bushings tack welded just in case. Jon

    Ground Clearance

    Different brands of longtubes will hang lower/higher. What brand are you running? one of the Hooker models are notorious for being low. I'm installing MAC longtubes and upon test fit it doesn't look like they'll be more than 1/2" below the frame rail. Have you checked your motor mounts? I...

    Modifying shifter for AOD?

    I picked up a T5 yoke from someone, they're supposed to be a little stronger than the stock AOD ones but if you get one with a trans I'd use it. I looked at my C4 yoke and have read of others cutting ~1"-1 1/2" off the end of the yoke so it doesn't bottom out.(it's not splined for the last 2...

    Modifying shifter for AOD?

    Yes, the shifter lever should point up like this: If not you'll need to flip it which requires removing the pan and changing the orientation of the lever. Using the stock shifter is fine, you'll just need to fab a lever to connect them out of all thread rod and some heim joints or...
