    mustang II spindles

    I'm not sure I understand the concern about needing a taller spring to clear the fender, but I had already rolled the fender lips to fit the 17x8" wheels. As you can see I'm using my own design control arms (very close to the RMP design) and the upper arms had to be taken in all the way to...

    mustang II spindles

    It's pretty easy to get a 2" drop spindle to fit inside a 17" rim. In fact I've test fit mine in a 17x9" rim and it fits, although just barely. I designed a dropped steering arm with an adjustable offset (nominal is 5.5") that has as much drop as I could get and still fit inside the rim. This...

    mustang II spindles

    I measured the MII spindle as having 7 degrees positive ackerman (+/- 1 degree with the tie rod pivot outboard of the lower BJ pivot). The stock 69-73 spindles have 14 degrees negative ackerman (+/- 1 degree with the tie rod pivot inboard of the LBJ). I haven't measured the Wilwood ProSpindles...

    Pony Express 2010

    Getting more organized I have my first sponsor, Mustangs Plus, which means I'll be getting more advertisement and a few door prizes. I'm working on getting both Ford Performance Parts and Shelby Performance Parts as sponsors also. I'm hoping my local Mustang Club will allow me to use their...

    Pony Express 2010

    I'm organizing (and I use that term VERY loosely) a driving event from Reno, NV to Tulsa, OK in 2010. The Restomods in Reno show is June 11 to 13. The Mid America Shelby Meet is June 16 to 20th. I plan to attend both. We will be leaving Reno on Monday the 14th at 0800 and will drive approx...

    CPRstreetmachines 1969 Turbo'd Pro-Touring GT2 build

    That is a truly gorgeous car! I hope it doesn't end up parked in a dark garage for fear of getting it scratched or dented. The best way to appreciate something of beauty is to see it in action. Hope to see you on the road!

    Rack and Pinion Options

    Unisteer offers 2 completely different racks, the power version is based on the GM J car rack as is used in the majority of kits. I don't know anything about the manual rack except that it is end steer like a typical late model Mustang rack, although much shorter. The J car rack does result in...

    Just how safe can you feasibly get a first generation Mustang to be?

    BillyT, you're an arrogant *******. Go away and bother the Corvette crowd for a while. Moderator, how about pulling the plug on this useless excuse of a thread. There's nothing technical or constructive about it.

    advice on 408

    You should be over 540 at the crank (without accessories). I have a very similar build; my cam is a bit milder hydraulic roller and a Torker II intake. Mine made 537 @ 5800 (on race gas) so you should beat that with the higher compression and a bigger cam.

    Caliper interchange

    thanks to everyone for the replies! I was just tweaking you guys to get a response, no offense intended:D I was hoping the mounting holes were the same so I could use take-off GT calipers as part of a kit which i've already designed to use the C5 PBR caliper (for a 1.25" rotor). I would...

    Caliper interchange

    so not a single person with an '05 up knows if your calipers are cast or aluminum? I guess if you have a new car your not a gearhead?

    Thoughts on the new CPP front suspension?

    Helmantel, The bolt on steering arms allow them to be used as either LH or RH, but do NOT make it rear steer. The built in ackerman geometry is unique to front steer applications, and they are way too high for our cars as you noted. I am designing an entire SLA suspension around the 2"...

    Caliper interchange

    Hello my late model brethren. I normally hang out in the classic section, but I need some info on late model parts. Specifically, are the calipers on the GT aluminum? Are they interchangeable with PBR calipers? Do the baskets have a 5.092 c to c spacing? Thanks in advance for any help you...

    Can someone help with wiring?

    As you mentioned, the firewall ground wire is more for looks than anything else as you only need one ground strap to the block. If your ground strap to the frame is nice and wide leave it there. I use a 1" wide braided stainless steel strap to the frame for both a DC and RF ground. A large...

    1971 351 Windsor Cam kit/ spec needed??

    Oh YES it is! My cam has 282 intake, 290 exhaust. I have 50 more cubic inches, over 10:1 compression, a manual tranny and 3:70 gears. It has quite a lope and the bottom end is still a little soft. Way too big for a basically stock 351 and an automatic.

    1971 351 Windsor Cam kit/ spec needed??

    Yep that's a big cam for a 351. It may not be very forgiving with an automatic (at least one that uses a vacuum signal for shifting), but if you size the convertor properly it will be great for the strip. It probably won't be a lot of fun in traffic though. I'd call Comp Cams help line or...

    Can someone help with wiring?

    I'm not real familiar with the 3G alternator, but all late model alternators have an internal regulator so you should only need to connect it to the battery. I'll let someone with 1st hand experience take over from here. OK, now for electrical troubleshooting 101: To "ring out" a wire harness...

    Can someone help with wiring?

    From the looks of it this harness has been spliced, so you need to ring out each circuit to be sure it goes where it should. You should also plan on getting a new repro harness soon. From the size and style of the terminals, the group that extend past the solenoid probably goes to the...

    351w intakes

    This may be the design goal of the aftermarket, by not OEM Ford. The OEM Ford 4 barrel intake has the carb about a half inch farther forward than most if not all aftermarket intakes. In addition, the Windsor shaker moves the top even more forward. If you try to bolt up the factory 351W intake...

    Skinny on the 351

    Big block and small block are Chevy terminology. You just can't put Ford in a box like that. If you like the Cleveland, build one. If you like the Windsor, build one. There's easy off the shelf power for almost every Ford engine ever made now. Once upon a time the huge variety of engine...
