    Spintech Side Exit System

    Don't underestimate the loudness of the louder mufflers from Spintech. I do not have the side exhaust, just the standard muffler out the back. This setup is with the louder of the Spintech mufflers, Dr Gas X, and only an e-cam. It is deafening at freeway speeds. I ordered the quieter of the...

    66 Glove Box Locks

    These are keyed to the trunk key. I got lucky when I found mine in a wrecking yard. I took it to a locksmith and he had it repinned to my key in a day. I haven't seen any since, except on eBay.

    will JMC hydraulic clutch kit work with a t-five bellhousing?

    You have a decision to make. The internal hydraulic TO bearing could leak which would make a mess of your clutch disc since it is inside the bellhousing. On the other hand, it is difficult to find a slave that has the travel that is required to fully engage the clutch (I have failed at this a...

    No way this is a real ad...FOR A 67 GT?!?!

    You are correct. It is bogus. Both the phone and email do not work. I am in Humble this week and would have loved to find a deal while I am here.

    EFI conversion? Good deal?

    I agree with all on this for both future add-ons and price. I was lucky and found a 40,000 mile totalled '93 GT for $1000 a few years ago. I not only got all the stock efi stuff, I also got a T-5 with it. I was able to sell many of the parts off the car that I did not need to recoup much of...

    Lincoln Versailles Rearend ?

    I always love it when people assume something and put words in your mouth. Versailles brakes are inefficient and very heavy. Yes you are right, there are people that will give good money for them. I was able to sell them and purchase an "off the shelf" Explorer brake setup that is much more...

    Lincoln Versailles Rearend ?

    You will not have to cut the rear end to make it fit. The housing for a Versailles is exactly the same width as the 66 Mustang. They put longer axles on the car to work with their crappy brakes. You can pitch the brakes because they are worthless and heavy, buy new 31 spline axles in the...

    Is There a Cheap Way to Send Weels and Tires

    I highly recommend looking at FedEx ground. They appear to be trying to steal the market away from brown with low prices. I had a set of four wheels and tires shipped with them and only had some cardboard on the wheel face side to protect them from scratching. Almost half the price of UPS.

    Tremec TKO

    I guess I have to plead ignorance here. I have not heard the T-5's with aftermarket tranny mounts install at an incorrect install angle. Do you know what angle the T-5 will install at without cutting the upper cross member and shimming up the tranny mount? I am in the process of installing...

    Ok guys, gimmie your best stories

    You know when you were young and dumb (yeah that was me)... I drove down the road and saw this beautiful red 73 Mustang Mach 1 Convertible, with a white interior. That should already have a few of you scratching your head. I stopped to look at it. 351C, 4bbl, 4 speed, deluxe interior...

    How much weight is too much for balancing?

    One thing I have done is to have the guy installing the tire rotate the tire on the rim. Both tires and rims are almost always out of balance. What this does is to set the weight on opposite sides to lower the overall out of balance. Some shops will do this for free, while others will ask for...

    R-BLOCKS VR'S DART BLOCKS

    The biggest problem I have seen from the sportsman block is the front of the block blowing out under boost (typically in the high boost <15 range). I know quite a few guys running the block in the renegade class that have had this problem also. Many of them have gone back to a stock 5.0 block...

    What does it take to fit 11 wide wheel on a 65 stang?

    Sorry, I don't have any pics with me. I have been on a project in Italy for a year. I finish this week, although they may send me to another Europe site soon. Sucks to have toys and not be able to play with them. I will get some pics when I get back. I just added a sig with the latest toys...

    What does it take to fit 11 wide wheel on a 65 stang?

    There's always a time for a first post, so here it goes (I have been living on corral for a couple years). I know that Billy Glidden can do it with a 7" tire, but I want to have good traction on a street tire that can survive potholes and high speed corners. So.....you can never have too...
