    changing heads add any hp??

    Depends on what cc head you have now, whether the port and polish job was done right, and the valve size. The smaller chamber heads will increase horsepower from higher compression, but if they overported that will negate it. You will get more flow with the port and polish, but only if the...

    Mustang II conversion

    Heidts has a setup that includes everything including new disc brakes and rack and pinion for around 2k. They have an article posted that was done in one of the mustang rags covering install step by step.

    Classic Value?

    I don't have the breakdown of coupes but 1966 had well over 600,000 mustangs produced. And early 65's and 65's were not far behind. I'd say there are enough of them to walk away from this one if you can't get it for 2k. And looking at that engine, I might walk anyway. Without that hose on for a...

    Classic Value?

    Makes sense. I did not see the GT gas cap among other things, so I was a little suspicious. Anyway, if it runs good and you want it, make him a lower cash offer and be prepared to walk away. The guy I bought mine from wanted 4k and I held up 29 100 dollar bills and drove it away. :nice:

    Classic Value?

    Also, it is hard to tell from the picture, but it kinda looks like it has or had the trumpet style exhaust. And a wood steering wheel. Did he say this was a GT optioned car? Or was that something he may have added? Could change the valuation.

    Classic Value?

    Looks kinda rough for that money, I think you can do better. Especially for a coupe. There is lots out there. Pour water or run a hose over the cowl and check inside to see if its leaking in. Also do this with the windshield and back glass. Good luck. Ps. The carpet looks like water damage...

    Toploader 4 Speed Or Tremec ?

    Hey Josh, thanks for the link. I'm going to do a swap myself. Question. When they say plate in the kit, do they mean adaptor plate to make it fit my four speed bell housing?

    They had that on the vette forum but they closed it down cause their lawyer said it left them open to lawsuits for promoting illegal activity. Plus people were having more than one username and starting Sh** by posing as a cobra owner, or honda owner and talking about how many vettes they were...

    Help me understand the difference between a DISAGREEMENT and an ARGUEMENT

    rbohm, hope I got that right. Anyway, the name calling and insults is what turns a disagreement into an argument. When each side presents their case for their opinion and both can see some validity in the other's, that is a disagreement. Cause, contrary to alot of belief, there is validity, no...

    This whole sight is broken up into specialized forums. 4.6, six cylinder, etcc. If that is not a good idea,why not just have one forum called mustangs then?

    Help me understand the difference between a DISAGREEMENT and an ARGUEMENT

    A disagreement is fine. Two people don't have to agree what is the best engine etcc... Thats a difference of opinion, and as long as two people state the reasons for their opinion in a civilized way, all is good. Its when someone decides to start calling names and say the other person does not...

    05 GT to start at $25K?

    Thats a pretty big engine to put in a relatively small engine bay and still keep it fwd. I heard the SS was going to be a supercharged six fwd. Would like to see it revert back to V8 and rwd though. That would be sweet.

    05 GT to start at $25K?

    I agree with initial wow factor. Not so much economy. I've bought new cars in good and bad economy. Bottom line is that it will be a mass production vehicle. End of month incentives and end of year incentives will apply in any economy after the wow factor wears off. Never bargain down from msrp...

    Gas Caps??

    I don't know either. Mine is a flip down gt350 cap. There is a gasget inside and not another screw cap. Gas will not come out if its open, unless you fill it completely full cause of the neck from the cap to the tank. But I know its not airtight even with the gasget, so maybe that's the problem...

    Actually, your rule about reading the ford manual is better than the mags here. If you pick up a 1965-1973 Ford manual, it will answer alot of the questions I see here. While not directly covering a swap, it will tell you how to remove and install every piece needed to do a swap from six to...

    How to get group purchases going with FR rack& pinion????

    Sounds like a good idea, just depends on the price for me. I looked into it, but what makes me mad is that I could buy a complete mustang 11 front with control arms, spindles, coilovers, crossmember, disc brakes and rack and pinion for around two grand, but just to get a rack and pinion alone...

    Absolutely. I got my car and it had already been converted to a shelby clone. Non-original engine or tranny. I had no plans to restore it original. Although I consider it restomod, I have not done anything to it that someone later could not restore it back to original if so inclined. I...

    New Forum for Stangnet?

    Its true 1320, that alot of posts are repeats. I was thinking about that this morning. Trouble is though, just about every available subject has been covered at one time or another. Alot of the older members get tired of it, but alot of the newer members would rather ask a question and discuss...
