    Need Help Picking Long Block

    That's a real good and really popular engine; several years ago, one of the magazines (don't remember which one) did an article on the 430HP version of the FRPP 392 engine, and they installed a set of AFR 185 heads on it, and with no other changes, the engine dyno'd at something like 495HP or...

    Motorcraft/Autolite 4300?

    To be honest, I really don't remember--it's been nearly 30 years since I even fooled with one . . . If it's a vacuum source, you could put a PCV valve there, or connect it to a vacuum tree in the event you have other things that require vacuum, such as a power brake booster, a/c vents,etc...

    Motorcraft/Autolite 4300?

    If I remember correctly, there were about three different sizes of 4300 series carbs--a 600CFM (used on the original 302's in 68, and I believe the 351W's in '69), a 630-650 CFM (used on some of the later 351C's) and a 750CFM spread bore that was mostly used on the big block engines (sometimes...

    Need Help Picking Long Block

    I'm not sure if you'd be able to use them or not, but to be quite honest, you might not want to--they probably have 1-5/8" primary tubes, and that is a little bit small for a large cube engine. There are several header manufacturers out there that manufacture larger tube headers (Accufab...

    Need Help Picking Long Block

    How about one of these (for example): https://www.ampperformance.com/ford/xcart/product.php?productid=108 I personally build my own engines and have the machine work done at a local shop, but if I were going to buy an assembled engine, it would be a Ford Racing engine--they're assembled in...

    Explorer rear into 65 stang

    I don't have any pics, but I was going to do this swap, and changed my mind because: * I am going with a stock-width 8.8 out of a '94 Mustang because I am using '03 Mach 1 wheels, and they have a lot of offset/backspacing. * The Mustang rearend is much lighter than the Explorer rearend...

    Rookie center section question

    If the center section has never been removed before, you may have some flat copper washers under each of the nuts, and you'll need to remove those as well before you can remove the unit

    '70 Fuel tank in my '66

    That's a great looking trunk! What thickness board did you use? What did you do for support under the board?

    Shorty headers

    So, what year(s) Mustangs exactly do these headers fit?

    '67 mustang coupe auto trans

    That looks like a smallblock C6 . . . that transmission was never installed in '67 Mustangs from the factory (the only C6 transmissions in '67 Mustangs were behind big block engines, like the 390), so someone has installed it. If it needs to be rebuilt, it likely wouldn't be worth more than...

    Which rearend gear do you think???

    If someone is using an AOD (or AODE/4R70W), most times they're using the lockup converter (I know I am), so there wouldn't be any slippage in OD. In my 70, I'm using a 4R70W and with 3.00:1 gears and a 25.7" tire, I am turning 1920RPM at 70MPH in OD w/convert clutch engaged. With 3.50...

    Retrofit Tacoma Struts in a Stang

    Hey, Matt-- Just thought I would check in to see if you've had a chance to get some pics of those caster/camber plates yet . . . I know you're busy, but with spring break coming up, I figured you *might* have a minute or two to take pictures of them . . . ( ;-{)}

    U-joint to Axle Centerline Dimension on 8-inch?

    Hmmm . . . don't know what happened to my post; I originally responded to you telling you that yes, I'm trying to find out what the dimension between the center of the u-joint on the pinion yoke to the centerline of the axle is, but for some reason, it either didn't get posted or got deleted...

    cant get her to idle under 1000 rpm

    Assuming this is a 4-barrel, have you checked to make sure that the secondary throttle blades are not stuck open a bit? I've experienced this issue personally before . . . check it out and let us know what you find.

    Just how safe can you feasibly get a first generation Mustang to be?

    I've been working on converting my 70 Mustang in this very manner. I now have: 98 Explorer EFI engine w/AFR 165 Head, ComCams XE258HR cam & 4R70W electronic OD transmission, using an A9M ECU for the engine and a Baummannator TCS Trans controller for the tranny Fox Mustang engine...

    Classic Injection

    I wasn't aware of an easy method of using an in-tank pump until I saw the Fordmuscle article, and that was *after* I had already installed the items . . . since then, I decided to go that route because it's MUCH cleaner, and it will quiet down the whine of the pump quite a bit. I've already...
