    Ronstang saves day....Roller 5.OOOOOHHHH conversion

    All the pe**s size measuring, and both of you guys forgot one small detail... The cobra motor came from the factory with different ratio rocker arms. Stock 5.0 motors had 1.6:1 rockers and the Cobra motor had 1.7:1 rockers. Ford was forced to be cheap after the heads, and rocker arms along...

    Ronstang saves day....Roller 5.OOOOOHHHH conversion

    Ronstang is great for things like this. I can always count on him for help during major projects like what you mentioned. I remember late nights banging on my floorboards to make room for the Tremmec cross member and having the neighbor across the street come and yell at us... Ah.. Those...

    pro-m negative wedge kit

    The Kit is great. It is straight forward to install. The hardest part of the install is getting the old upper ball joint off if that is any clue. The kit will not drop your car 1.5 inches. Any upper arm re-location will not give you that much body drop. You will probably see about 3/4 of an...

    Reallly really really needing paint....for people in austin

    I found one for around 3.5k. Most are charging 8 to 12k and want 3 months to a year to paint the car. I think I am going to try the 3.5k one. I will let you know more about the shop in the next week. P.S. Did you get a chance to install the rear end yet? John

    Heater / painless wiring

    The hot wire goes to the blower motor. The second wire off the blower motor then goes to the blower resistor. The remaining connections on the blower resistor go to the switch, then the switch connects to ground. (The switch is used to complete the circuit and sends the blower power to ground...

    28oz balancer and flex on roller 302 ok??

    I would have to say as a general rule. All the 5.0 rollers that I have dealt with have been a 50 ounce imbalance, unless it was stroked. Then all bets are off. John

    Front Disc or Mustang II upgrade THAT IS THE QUESTION

    With Granada front disks, the Versailles rear disks, SVO master cylinder, adjustable proportioning valve, and Mustang Steve power brake conversion my 65 stops like you would not believe. I can stab the brakes at 40, the car stops so quick with no tire spin, that everything in the back of the car...

    splashed gas in my eye, its watering like crazy, do i need to go to emergency????

    You really should seek medical treatment immediately! Do not wait. Call 911, they will walk you through what to do. You pay for them anyhow. Seriously (this goes for anyone), any time you get a chemical (paint, thinner, GAS,...) in your eyes, you need to flush a minimum of 15 minutes...

    Alright somethings really getting on my nerves

    Don't you mean sadist? :D I like my manual steering (19:1) with 205/50r16's. It feels just about right. Could use a smaller diameter steering wheel though, or even a quick steering kit. All wheel power disk brakes with adjustable bias is the best though... John

    65 resto project update

    Been there... Trust me, it is worth the effort. The best feeling in the world is when you have finished stripping and start to put the car back togther. Keep us posted. John

    Colors... So many options...

    One other color possiblty is the Quick Silver Clearcoat Metallic with light silver stripes. A sample of the color combination can be found here on the Ford GT. Ford's website shows the car in the same color with black stripes which also does not look bad... John

    Colors... So many options...

    Just to clarify... Mineral gray is NOT the color on the movie car. That color is pepper gray metallic with black metallic stripes. Mineral gray has a copper color to it and it would be with solid black stripes (not metallic). Here is a link to a mineral gray and black mustang and here is a...

    Colors... So many options...

    Help me pick a color scheme for the car. I have been around and around about picking a color scheme. I really want to stay with the Shelby 66 GT350 layout (lemans and side stripes), but what colors to use.... The original scheme before "that movie" was Mineral Gray with Black. But now...

    Testing the heater blower

    The switch provides power to 2 seperate circuits on my 65. 12 volts comes from the igniton switch. The switch then provides power out (12 volts) to one of the 2 wires going to the blower. One high speed, one low speed. The ground is provided at the motor. Mine is diffenrent from the 66...

    need advice:Hooker LT's/ Tri-Y's/ 289HiPo Manifold

    I have the Hookers, and I can tell you they fit great. The performance is also a bonus. The Hookers plus a good 2.5 inch exhaust should give you a nice boost in power. You will not be sorry. John

    How hard to install a Tremac 3550 into a 66?

    Not all cars (65 - 66) does the 3550 fit that well. In my car, I had to cut the top of the transmission tunnel and raise the back of the transmission almost 2 inches to get the driveline angle correct. You can install it with the the engine at 6 degrees, if you do not mind you headers pointing...

    Cable Clutch help

    Sweet!! Those look like the super comps though... The reason that I say that is the length of the collectors. What headers are those? Let me know how those fit... John

    Cable Clutch help

    Tri Y's don't work too great from what I hear. I went with a set of Ceramic coated Hooker Competition (not the super comps). The fit around the cable is tight, but it does clear barely. If the cable was longer, I would be able to come around the front of the shock tower and that would fix...
