    Hooker Headers, good/bad/ugly

    I've only heard good things from them. I hear they are one of the few headers that clears a 65-66 mustang with a t5 conversion.

    Brake issue

    I was driving my 66 289 3spd the other day when the brakes decided to go out on me. They were working just fine right before and were working (more or less) after they went out. The pedal would go to the floor with no pressure. The car started rough (because it was so cold). It's a bone stock...

    tranny, wheel, cam questions

    I've got a 66 coupe with a 3spd right now. I'm going to grab a t5 sometime in the next week and the conversion kit... which kit do you recommend? I also hear hooker super comps are the only long tube headers that fit a 66 with the t5. Has anyone heard anything else about this? With addition...

    If you had...

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm not new to cars, just old mustangs. I thought stroking a 302 would be super easy/cheap. I'll just wait to build a stroker. Twisted wedge heads, eh? I suppose something like a comp cam extreme series cam to compliment it... But I know next to nothing about...

    First off, I found a dang crack in the stock radiator last night. Looks like I'm upgrading that. Does anyone know of a good aluminum radiator that's a direct replacement? With electrical fan? Second, can I stroke the 289 block to a 302? And if I do, I should be looking at around 300 to the...

    See, I'm tackling this in sections. I've already got my plans drawn out for brakes and a full front end suspension rebuild. I was just talking about modernizing some of the engine parts that people normally overlook. I assure you, suspension and brakes will be upgraded well before I start...

    If you had...

    I've got a 66 with a 289 in it right now. It was rebuilt (so I'm told) about 5 years ago. The man who drove it before maybe put 2k miles on it. The engine itself is fine. I just don't know what's in there... Stock components I guess. Anyhow, everything else is stock. Carb, rad, dist, etc. etc...

    Buying a Mustang. Questions and a poll...

    Thanks for all the replies guys. It seems my first post was rather incoherrent. I think I posted this late at night. Anyhow, I have been doing even more research on the subject. Right now two Mustangs in my area caught my attention. A Spring time yellow which is a 65 with a 4 speed toploader or...

    Buying a Mustang. Questions and a poll...

    I am looking at buying my first classic Mustang. I have been doing research for the past few weeks and finally feel like I can start looking at some Mustangs. The thing is... I like driving manuals and much as automatics. Which is more fun to drive for the classics? Auto or Manual? The reason...
