    Twisted wedge and Windsor Jr heads

    Still have 'em, now that spring is coming, time to make room for more projects. Im open to reasonable offers. I also have (2) 96 Explorer/gt40 intakes; one in fairly clean original condition, the other nicely cleaned and painted, both with throttle body. Also a set of 96 Explorer/gt40 NON-P...

    are the 351/400M motors any good?

    Im with the other guys, 400 is not a bad motor at all. If youre rebuilding it, be sure to deck the block/heads as needed for quench and compression, though neither is absolutely necessary. Otherwise a stock rebuild with a good cam and intake is about all it takes to make reasonable power with...

    93 Pony wheels on a 68 4 lug

    I remember a few years ago there was a Mustang, 67/8 as I remember, that had ponys on it, so you wouldnt be the first to do it. I just saw the car around, never knew the owner though, so I cant verify how they fit. Looked like they fit ok though.

    What headers - GT40 heads?

    In your article on how to port heads you mentioned you had to buy new valves. What size were the exhausts? P heads have smaller valves than non-P heads. Im with 65Shelbyclone on this one. Youve got P heads. Maybe some oddball ones marked as GTs, but the plug angle and chamber volume both...

    What headers - GT40 heads?

    I have gt40 heads on my 65 Comet with Hedman 88400 headers, and no problems. I know you say youre 100% sure you dont have P heads, but maybe you should take a pic of the front of the head to prove it to the rest of us. I had a set of unknown Hooker headers on some unknown 302 heads in my...

    What headers - GT40 heads?

    gt40 heads have the same spark plug angle as all the other heads. Only one with a different angle is the P heads. How many bars on the front of the head? 4?

    AFR 185s too big for my 289?

    Probly wont hurt anything, but a bit overkill for a small engine. You could run a high lift cam to take advantage of the big heads, but keep duration short to keep it streetable. May even look into a custom grind roller cam. Seems like a lot of people are doing it, so I dont think its much...

    retiring mustang. help with economy dd

    I have an 01 Focus zx3 that consistantly gets 30+ on the freeway, and thats at 85+ mph with the a/c blowin out ice cubes. If I slow down a bit and turn off the a/c its knocking on 40mpg. Thats with a 5 spd, so maybe a little less if you want an auto, but Ive put about 40K miles on it now for a...

    In general, how do stock '65s handle twisties

    Youll think your arms are gonna fall off! :rlaugh: Once you get used to it, its no big deal, but having never driven one I bet youll be thinking "how the hell do you steer/stop this thing?!:eek:" I got a Washington that says your arms will be sore tomorrow. :D Just give yourself plenty of...

    Upper control arm shaft kit question

    +1 for welding the caps on. I had mine come loose and it caused untold pain and frustration until I figured out what was wrong. Not hard to find it, but when everything is brand new, its not the first thing that comes to mind.

    Edelbrock E Street Heads - Any thoughts?

    I think the E-street heads are basically regular performer heads, but with a cheaper valvetrain. Thats fine if you dont plan to upgrade later on, but it sounds like you may want to go bigger later on. The link you posted clearly states , so take that into consideration. If you are sure you...

    Boss 429 heads, 460 block

    Whats the best way to run the oil lines from a 460 block to original Boss heads? In the heads I used a 1/8"npt to -4an, then a 90* fitting on that, but the 90* fitting hits the intake. There doesnt seem to be any interference between the fittings in the block and the intake but its close, so I...

    PRIMING THE OIL PUMP & ENGINE

    Are you saying you didnt even see one drop of oil coming through the pushrods? Is oil coming out around the lifters? If youre getting enough oil pressure (you didnt say how much youre actually getting) I would be worried if I didnt see oil coming up through at least most of the pushrods. Its...

    New to forum with 289 build questions.

    If the bottom end of the engine is in good shape (good oil pressure and even compression are good indications), a better set of heads, cam, and intake would be a good start. A set of gt40P heads will bolt up to your existing short block, are readily available for $500 a set fresh ($250 for good...

    Anyone using a professional products damper?

    I used one, but for a 460. I think what you have to do is just bring it to tdc#1 and see where the timing marks line up. There were obviously several different timing covers made, so you just have to figure out which set of marks line up with your cover.
