    Radiator Cooler x Water

    if your coolant is white, it's usually indicative of oil in the coolant, why anyone would want that I have no idea. My cars usually run around the 50/50 mix in em. Whenever my temp needle started gettin to midway, is when I started to get scared. Mine usually run cooler than midway, anything...

    Motor mounts

    the average i've seen last time I was hunting for mounts, $100 a piece. You wanna see something for fun though, try finding 302/351 motor mounts a for specifically a 73 Mustang. $200, trust me they are different than all the other early Mustangs, nor will a II mount fit in it. I tried. Good...

    drop in a v8, supercharge, or buy a gt?

    obviously the above is a statement from someone who's never installed a procharger on a V6 Mustang over a year and half ago. 98CobraClone is my little brother, his car is a 98 V6 5spd, vert, I can promise you his car eats GTs alive up home. but he choses not to because he doesnt' want to...

    Who Had their II before the internet?

    I learned to drive in a II, which was around 94, cuz we bought my brothers Ghia in 1990, and then it steam rolled from there with my dad's 78 Cobra, then my plethora of II's started in 97, but by 97 we had already done a full powertrain swap in a II and a different body color paint, so of course...

    what are opera windows?

    i've been involved on .org since it's inception which I'm pretty sure Mark has as well, and if it wasn't for the ground breakers at the org site, net wouldnt' be where it is. Not saying what information they do or dont' have over there is any good/bad, but that was when all the interest started...

    Installing new trans. this weekend. Have ?

    doesn't the II's tranny pan differ from regular C4's ?? I was thinking that the filter at least allows for a deeper pan, or something like that. I could be wrong though. Anybody else got input on that. But if you're pulling the tranny out of something else it shouldn't much matter anyway.

    project SVO/II underway

    How clean of a II Body are you looking for? I've got a 78 T-top that I've thought about parting ways with. It's a factory V8/Auto car. But no engine or tranny in there at the moment. Aqua colored interior. Rear bumper is missing and the hood that is on there is a yellow hood, but I've got a blue...

    Size of the back seat in a Ford Mustang Convertible

    I just hope your sister and girlfriend aren't in the backseat for the same reasons, hehe No but seriously, backseats in all Mustangs sucks, that's why you may as well consider them as 2+2 cars. Last time I successfully seen four adults in a mustang was dad's 5.0 and we actually had five...

    drop in a v8, supercharge, or buy a gt?

    Aint' nothing with wanting a V8, the only non-v8 I have is my Ranger. But dependent on your age and a few other factors (like the price of gas/insurance) Personally I'd advice the installation of a Procharger, V6 gas mileage with GT performance. After my brother came to visit everyone asked me...

    Mustangs Unlimited spoiler/valance combo?

    it hangs just like the factory rally or cobra front spoilers. I got two of those at home, never got to stick em on the cars yet though, I got a couple test fit pictures on my little brothers white 78. Looks pretty good.

    Steering Rack Removal

    Auto Zone loans plenty of tools out and I'm pretty sure that the "snake tongue" that's what I've always heard it called, but anyway, that shoudl be on their loan-a-tool list you may wanna check on the website or just drop in your nearest AutoZone.

    Steering Rack Removal

    just keep an eye on some of those harbor freight tools, they aren't always the best quality i've had some success with their stuff, but like was mentioned they're made overseas.

    84 LX 3.8 not wanting to downshift...

    Let me know if I'm interpretting this right You're cruising down the road and want to punch it, and you only feel it drop one gear to assist in a quicker acceleration (that being the drop from 3rd or Drive to 2nd) and not feeling the drop to 1st gear? Cuz if that's what you're talking about...

    Restoration. . . "old school", or "newfangled"??

    Torque Thrusts always look good on classic stangs, even with the right mods, the newer styled Bullits or Torque Thrusts II's would look sweet on most classics. But then you get into adapters and all that fun stuff, of course if you're looking to upgrade brakes and such anyway you'd be half way...

    84 LX 3.8 not wanting to downshift...

    it's a safety ford put in the torque converters even in the 70's model stangs, you pull into first it won't go into first until the revs have come down enough not to break stuff unnecessarily, it's nice to have when you start horsing around and think you've broke something

    Dual exhaust on an 84 3.8??

    as long as you don't go with a cherry bomb or glass pack on the car it shouldnt' sound bad, and as long as you use the double hump crossmember made for the 87-93 dualed out cars you shoudl be able to run true duals on it. However if you're looking at passing inspecitons, unfortunatly you'll have...

    Bullitt

    just please don't put red bullits on there. There's a Red GT in Dyersburg with Red Bullits and that sucker is FUGLY. But to each his own, I say gray bullitts anyway.

    Can you replace door bushings

    you can check the condition of the bushings on all cars so far with my experience by opening the door grabbing it at the bottom and lifting up, if it moves your bushings are bad, bad door alignment will just be noticed by looking at the profile of the car. I'm not saying that bad door alignment...
