    Problems with my TCP rack and KRC pump

    Last summer I put on the TCP rack & pinion with the KRC pump. At low idle like in the parking lot or turning the tires when stationary the pump groans and I could feel stuttering but seems fine when rolling down the road. I now have about 600 miles on the system but I took a close look under...

    Anyone know of a front sump pan (289/302) that clears a main girdle?

    A Milidon 8qt road race pan will work also.

    302 AOD: Header Recommendation

    I highly recommend Fordpowertrain headers (FPA). They are very high quality and likely the last header you'll buy. Mine are longtubes on my (331/AOD with magnaflow X-pipe 2.5 exhaust) 67 fastback and they don't hang down any lower than my front framerails. To me they are the ideal...

    best exhaust for the $

    The magnaflow stainless X-pipe catback system is no doubt the best system out there for the money (under $350 with current special). It's all mandrel bent and tucks up nicely, plenty of clearance. No part of the system hangs down any lower than my front frame rails (I'm running FPA longtube...

    Better traction for drag racing

    Caltracs typically are mentioned as the best traction assist for traditional suspension but I'm not sure how they would work with composite springs, maybe call them and ask. I'm running Caltracs and love them with 4.5 leafs on 9" with 3.70 gears.

    Adjustible Motor Mouonts

    I just did everything you are going to do in my 67. I went with the "Prothane" poly engine and tranny mounts from Summit for around $130 total, works great. Unless you have a reason to need the adjustment, I wouldn't worry about it. Just research the heck out of your components and likely...

    Looking for a quality al. rad with an integrated shroud & elec. fan combo for my buddy's 66 vert. Needs to be a direct bolt in, no mods. Thanks in advance for any advice or quality, cost effective sources.

    408W from the Engine Factory or Keith Kraft?

    Another vote for KC, most all the others are "me-too's" with same or similar components. They do not have the experience or longstanding reputation and you cannot me-too that either. In 5-10 years KC will still be there like he has for 20+ no question, others will fall out for sure as the...

    Interior Color Classic Mustang

    Your correct on the charcoal black it should have some metallic in it but usually it's all gone after 40 years. It your into restomodding, I just painted my interior with a 2005 Jeep color - metallic black pearl and clearcoat, it really pops and I'm happy with it.

    Pics, please (disc brakes behind large rims)

    Here are 13" Baer Trackers with 16" Edelebrock 454's in my 67FB. The calipers cleared by only 1/8", got lucky for a change! They look so good that they make my versailles rear disc's (11"?) look bad. The track width did not appear to change much, maybe 1/4" if any. Looks sick with slotted...

    Cam advice for 331 Stroker

    Holy cow, what a thread resurrection! I ended up going with a Keith Craft 331 stroker rated at 450hp, 425 torque. I went with a Ed Curtis/Flowtech speced cam (well worth the $70) for some extra gains. I have about 600 miles on the motor with no track time yet and am real happy with...

    TCP Subframe Connectors & Magnaflow Exhaust

    I just did it all from scratch - TCP subframes, TCP center connector, magnaflow 2.5 with X-pipe system and all this with an new AOD tranny. It was very tight, especially around the front U-joint and directly around the AOD crossmember. I anticipated this clearance issue and ordered the AOD...

    Power antenna...

    Anyone that sells Scott Drake stuff can get you the chrome power antenna that retails for $70. Try NPD or other sources you may have ordered from in the past.

    MINI STARTER WIRING???

    I believe Bob is correct on this. I too just put in a mini-starter and I wired it the way Dennis suggested. It also hangs on the flywheel for about 2-3 seconds after motor is started. I swapped starters only to have the same issue. I was hoping to leave it the traditional way with the jumper...

    Changing motor mounts?

    I see threads like this over and over again where folks don't replace their original motor mounts when they rebuild the engine or swap them with the OEM replacements that fail within a couple years with a high performance engine. If your modifying the car and engine for higher performance...

    Went to the Track, Have some problems and questions.

    Just for the TT unit itself, I picked one up about 2 months ago and had Summit pricematch when I placed another big order.

    Went to the Track, Have some problems and questions.

    Have your rear springs been replaced? If not, get some 4.5 leafs with poly shackle bushings (good cost effective swap) and eventually get the Caltrac traction system. For the diff, I would recommend the True-Trac. It's a great setup and you can buy online for around $355. The backend will...

    seat suggestions for 67 fastback

    I thought about the Corbeau CR1's but luckily I sat in them before purchase, they are way too small for me at 5'11" - 175 lbs, the shoulder area especially. Maybe check to see if they make a larger version. I ended up with Arizen seats (www.customracingseats.com), fully reclines, leather...

    Ceramic coated headers

    I would recommend FPA longtube headers as none of the other big names will have a solution. FPA headers are very well built, have ceramic option, excellant ground clearance and likely will be the last header you'll buy for that car. I have FPA longtubes on my 302/AOD with Magnaflow X-pipe...
