    GT40-P engine info

    I believe the hi-po manifolds will work, its not too difficult to cut/weld a set of cheapy headers either. My old headers only hit on 2 cylinders, so you wouldnt have to modificate much (I used a 2lb install kit). I have basically a stock 96 exploder engine in my Falcon now and I can say its...

    '68 289 - Head bolts - RTV? Oil?

    Yikes! Any head bolt, ARP I know for sure, should have at least oil on it or better yet a moly lube. Just remember to adjust torque spec accordingly. A dry bolt will have less clamping force than the same bolt at the same torque with moly lube because of the friction between the threads. If...

    Opinion on Roush crate engines

    Has anyone here bought a crate engine from Roush? Got any opinions on it? Im thinking about one of the 327 or 342R/SR engines, but the specs online are a little slim. For example under heads all it says is "aluminum" "185cc". :rolleyes: The other thing I was thinking about is just getting...

    Need some schooling on 8 inch rears.

    Theres a 71ish Comet Ive seen at the local track that runs around 10.70s on an 8"(!) and an automatic. Then again, a buddy of mine blew up his 8" running mid to low 13s. His problem was wheel hop and a 5 speed. Somebody posted a link to an article that showed a Mustang running a 331, 5 speed...

    Fiberglass Fenders

    I have 'glass fenders on my Falcon, made by Crites, and theyre nice, but then again the car is white. If you want top fit and finish and/or are using a dark color, just save yourself the trouble and use steel.

    Anybody used stock Ford parts for a Hydraulic Clutch?

    Did you see how he made the push rod spacer to offset the clutch master from the brake master? I would assume for just that reason.

    Any good frame/unibody repair shops in Detroit area?

    Have you tried Harolds Frame Shop on 8 mile? They have a great reputation, but if they cant/wont do it Im sure they could recommend somebody. 313-532-8590 The only other place I know of is Oval Repair. They dont do that kind of work, but might know someone who would. Theyre on Plymouth btwn...

    Early 80's 302 Oil

    It sounds like its a used engine, so I would probly stick with the dino oil. If its not a roller, and it sounds like its not, I would either get an ""off-road"" oil, or use an additive with zinc in it. Most new oils have low/no zinc, which helps emissions in new cars, but the zinc helps...

    Anybody used stock Ford parts for a Hydraulic Clutch?

    Here is what a friend of mine did on his 63 Falcon using all Ford parts. I know the firewalls are slightly different between Falcon and Mustang, but I dont think it makes a difference on this. • View topic - Internal Hydraulic Clutch for T-5

    3.80's for a 8"

    Fox body Mustangs had either a 2.78 or the optional 3.08 rear gears, just for reference. I think a STOCK fox engine and 5 spd with those gears was optimal for mileage. Not to say its the best for performance tho...

    bnickel, its an original v8 63 falcon sprint, but for some reason I remember him mentioning it had a later case, but Im not sure.

    3.80's for a 8"

    If you have a 3.80 gear, 25.15" tire (215/60/15) and are going 70 mph, you will be turning 3554 rpm. Thats kinda high to be going any kind of distance. I would go with say, a 3.25. Just for comparison I ran some numbers, all are assuming the same tire size and speed. 4.11- 3844 rpm 3.80-...

    Front End Alignment

    On a related note, what kind of alignment specs should you use with radial tires and no shelby drop? I was thinking about 0* camber, 2.5*+ caster, typical 1/16-1/8" toe in.

    Bump steer or... ?

    Looks like the center link was the culprit here. Im sure the shelby drop was contributing, but replacing the center link with one cut to the right dimensions has finally yielded a driveable car! I havent aligned it yet, but I set toe (caster/camber still way off, but even between sides) and so...

    front end rises but doesn't come back down

    Ive had the same problem on 2 different cars. The first time I replaced everything, and of course the last part I didnt check was the problem. One of the upper control arm nuts that holds the cross shaft in had stripped threads and started to back out. It was pretty hard to catch because the...
