    Coupe to Fastback?

    I bet it can be done, but it won´t be easy... I changed new roof for my coupe, and with same effort i could have changed it to fastback... I had to install new quarter panels and outerwheel wells also (rust and fenderflares...) Just make sure you have you have the body supported correctly before...

    how much play is alowable in u-joints???

    Changing them is a good idea. I hope it solves the problem. Had some play in my u-joints, and it was due to driveshafts ends gotten too wide, if you see what I mean.

    Why did Ford build 2 different 351 engines?

    Nice post... :nice: If we could just loose the sandbox attitude. Pocking guy for typing errors... Thats low. Who the **** cares if 350 or 351 was 1/10 sec faster than other, 40 years ago? Cleveland is mighty powerplant, it has some problems, but it has potential. Too bad it´s been on the...

    Scratch your heads, is this possible?

    Just make sure Turbos are big enough, although smaller turbo gives better response, it may resist exhaust too much and melt your pistons... I´d try it. With 9,0:1 compression it´ll make serious hp even with 5 psi pressures. :nice:

    Traction Master 1966 Shelby Style Traction Bars?

    I´m installing same setup in spring also. Just curious, do they work with lowering blocks? I have 1" blocks... Any of you guys running Panhard bars with Early stangs, are they worth the effort with leaf springs?
