    Barrett Jackson thoughts

    :)I watched alot of the auction thanks to the garbage on the rest of the chanels. It sure looks like prices have come back to reality. Most of the Shelby, hemi cudas, etc. had a real struggle getting to getting to 6 figures. Maybe in the months to come us real world guys will not have sellers...

    T5 Crossmember Fitment

    You might try putting just the bolts in. Then using pipe clamp or ratcheting strap on the bolts to suck them together. Just go slow and easy.

    ? best gt hood for 67

    I have been finding the best results from the dynacorn stuff on the 67-68 . I have yet to find perfect fitting parts, but you can tell that they are building cars with these parts and not just getting something close and rough to make a quick buck. The hard part is trying to find out who makes...

    New carb on 351C problems!

    Sounds like a vacuum leak to me. Like stated above DON'T start doing anything crazy to the carb. All aftermarket carbs usually come set up good enough to get your car running. You might also check that the mixture screws are both set at one and half turn from closed as a starting point. Unlike...

    detune an engine?

    Why not just keep your current engine in the car, store the stroker and wait to put it in until you score the other upgrades. Don't forget to have brakes that can stop the car.

    65 stang running hot

    I bet you already checked the thermostat, anti- freeze and radiator cap, the basic stuff. If it were my car, I would put the largest radiator and fan I could fit. Then I would you have a fan shroud to force the air through and not around the radiator. You do have it set up bring air into the...

    Floor Pan Work - Potential Problems

    IMHO. Oh my god! get a lawyer. This has got to be fixed. Floor pans are a major part of the car structure. This putz should not be working on cars. Just because he has pictures on the wall doesn't mean he built them! Not even close to being acceptible or safe! The sealer is to hide the crap...

    New Patriot heads?

    I had contacted the company a few months ago. Castingings are done in china. they are machined in the U.S. The few articles if seen on heads that are made for Patriot gave good reveiws. They do have thick decks etc. They are quick and very friendly to talk to. The bad rep seems to come from...

    Cleveland Head Help

    I just picked up a pair of heads I'm trying to find out if they are factory originals. The castings are D0A 4v closed chamber. They have adjustable valve train and C9 factory guide plates. None of my books show a D0A head let alone any 1970 head with adjustable valve train (beside boss 302). I...

    rebuild process

    Depends on how much you want to spend. IMHO a basic build would be hot tank, crack check, check that the mains are straight, decks are flat. I would also spend the money to have the bores plate honed. If your block needs all the bells and whistles to make it right, I would recomend you start...

    72 Mustang Running Rough

    You are going to have to locate the timing marks. Use some paint or crayon to make it easy to see. You can't time your engine with out seeing the marks. Do you have your dwell time set to specs? Unless you want to keep your car original, save your self alot of head aches and use electronic...

    rebuild process

    You should have a machine shop look over your block. They can tell if there is any problems and what size over bore it will need. Decking is standard on race blocks but not always needed on a street block They can check your your decks to see if it's really needed. A hot tank, cam bearings, bore...

    67 vs 68 grill

    Sucks when you get it cheaper. How much is shipping? The company I saw also had stainless GT exhaust with rolled tips pretty reasonable also.

    Engine stalling

    Funny how we fix one thing and another problem crops up. I would change fuel filter first. Cheap and easy and is a real easy to not do regularly. Ever buy a can of gas and look in the bottom and see all the garbage floating around? If your car isn't getting full voltage may be a problem. I would...

    67 vs 68 grill

    The billit grills in parts books use the same part # for 67-68. Saw one on ebay for I think $179.00. It was an ebay store and don't remember the name. Looked really nice. It was blacked out on the sides and polished on the face. Should be able to use search for it.

    Engine stalling

    First thing I would try is change your fuel filters. Some more details like auto or manual trans, stock or aftermarket ignition can be helpful. Any recent changes under hood?

    New Manifold

    I have one ordred and will post some pics next to my real boss intake for grins. It's not due until 11\27. This manifold isn't a huge price break over an original , but I know it will make a much better street set up. I really didn't want to do anything to the original. I have a 4118-s holley...

    sand blasting

    It will be cheaper to have it done. Kalifornia DEQ would shoot you on sight not to mention the really pissed off neighbors. The dust cloud will reach a long ways.
