    Hi all, I picked these cool adapters and hooked 'em up with the trans! I looked everywhere for these and could only find them here: Kelly hotrod - Ford C4/C6 transmission data and links

    Neutral safety on floor shifter?

    OK, I think I have solved my own problem: Put a bracket with a momentary switch mounted in front of the floor shifter. When the shifter is all the way forward in the park position, the switch is depressed and the ignition wires make contact to start the engine when the key is turned. The...

    Hello All!

    They have a casting number 19,20, or 21 on the ends outside and if you pull the valve cover and they're stamped on top left side and underneath "289". Hipo heads have stock screw in studs and the valve springs sit in a cup like pocket machined into the head. But there shouldn't be the need...

    Hello All!

    Great deal! Judging by the compression ratio, those 289 heads are possibly '68 hipo k-code for 10:1 or '68 302 4v j-code for 10.1:1. Either way they're scarce to find. On the old motor, was it making a loud ticking noise? Maybe just a head gasket was blown between cylinders 3-4? Happend to me...

    Neutral safety on floor shifter?

    Hi all, I ran into another small problem after installing a new PA C4. The Problem: PA ships their transmissions with the shift lever cut off for compatibility. Some cars have the shift lever up, some down, so they cut it off and leave it up to the customer to either: Remove and...

    76 cobra II restoration

    Cool, I was where you are at now a few years ago. I wasn't a body man either but now I'm getting better at it, just takes practice and advice from experienced persons. There's lots of challenges to rebuilding/modding the II, but that's one of the reasons why I like them :) Good luck with your...

    Milodin Pan Hitting Rack

    Ya, I really didn't want to cut a hole in it, Cowl induction is in the works ;) . It took me a while to figure out where the hole was that you were talking about. :rolleyes: :)

    Milodin Pan Hitting Rack

    I just got done putting 1/2" square nuts between the motor mounts and engine. It worked great, thanks again! With the extra 1/2" motor height and higher intake, the top of the carb is about level with the top of the fenders. It looks like it's going to need a cutout hood.

    Help need wiring diagram

    Not sure if this will help - This is from some of my notes when I rewired my '75 a few months ago: COLUMN WIRES ------------ LT GREEN/WHITE = L FRONT SIGNAL WHITE/LT BLUE = R FRONT SIGNAL LT GREEN/ORANGE = L REAR SIGNAL ORANGE/LT BLUE = R REAR SIGNAL DARK BLUE = HORN LIGHT BLUE =...

    Milodin Pan Hitting Rack

    Awesome, Thanks for the tip! I installed a mini starter as well. I'm going to put some heat wrap around the positive starter cable too, everything is minimal space on the passenger side. I even had to cut about a 1/2 inch off the end of the strut rod to clear the header.

    Milodin Pan Hitting Rack

    Hi All, I just got done lowering the new engine and ran into a snag - The oil pan is hitting the manual rack, I can't even slide a piece of paper between. It was really no suprise with such a big pan. Other than that, everything else clears (headers, trans, rest of engine). Any ideas on...

    Sway Bar End Link Bushings

    Hi, I was looking to replace all the bushings on my '75 and saw these at Summit Racing: Prothane Motion Control 19-417-BL - Prothane Sway Bar End Link Sets - Application - SummitRacing.com Summit lists them to fit a '78 Mustang II among other cars and I was wondering if anyone knows if...

    New Griffin Radiator

    I mounted a 16" Spal fan with some $2.99 battery hold downs. It's solid, the car wiggles as I pull on it in any direction.

    New Griffin Radiator

    Hehe, hood lock. Still don't know what the brackets on the side were used for, maybe the air condenser that was long gone when I got the car? Don't remember, it was about 20 years ago.

    New Griffin Radiator

    Made the bottom support using the brackets on the side with some 1/8x3 and 3/4x3/4 steel welded onto them and made a notch to clear the bottom hose. Nothing was attached to them when I disssembled the front. What were these brakets used for originally?

    New Griffin Radiator

    I wanted to install the biggest crossflow radiator I could fit in and with some cutting I managed to squeeze it in there :) Now I just have to make brakets on the top and bottom to hold it in there. With the radiator all the way forward up against the grill/headlight support, I have about 4"...
