    9" 3rd member from yard w/ good ratio?

    Side gears can not always be swapped between 28 &31 as the hole for the axel in the traction loc is to small to allow the 31's to fit. Also do do go swapping pinion supports from one carrier to the next with out knowing what you are doing. It sets the pinion depth into the ring gear. This is...

    RHS Heads vs Canfield?

    So as luck would have it I was looking for a new set of heads for my 347. I found a set of Canfields at a shop that had some damage. The guy said they were very fixable and you would not be able to tell they had every had work done. I offered $800 for them if he fixed and freshened them up...

    Crane's 1968 Mustang Restomod

    These cars are all about personal taste but, Please reconcider the day glow orange. It will be period correct for the late 70's if you end up with 1.5" of tire sticking out of the quarter panel. Ohh you could put in some running lights in the wheel wells to really set off the the drums. Aww...

    4 Point Seat Belt without Harness Bar?

    I have 4 point belts now and would go with 3 point for street set up. 4 point belts really need a 5th crotch belt to work properly. if you pull the shoulder belts tight, it pulles the lap belt up on your stomach. The crotch belt is needed to prevent this. Unless you wear the belts so tight...

    Buy my next raidator. Well, not really... just suggest

    My brother is a engineer for Northern and so I know more than I ever wanted to about alum rads. I will spare you all the details but just buy the Northern and be done with it. Even though they are a lot less money that the Griffin or Fluidyne they will cool better and are better made. It all...

    Seat Risers Out Now What About The Pans

    I did the complete pan on my convertible and it is well worth the extra money. What is your labor worth and how much do you care what the job looks like when finished? Just be sure and brace the doors with a temp brace before you cut out the floor pan. Measure the openings top middle and...

    Guys that run 15"-16" wheels what tires?

    If it were me. I would look for a good used box,(HCC AW are easiest to find) check the backlash before installing it. If you are going through the expense to buy a rebuilt box, ditch it and get rack and pinion. Costs more but 40 years better technology and the car drives like new. Ive had...

    Building for street

    I currently have a 306 with hp manifolds and a 500 carb and 3.25 gears. I would say the gears would be fine with a man trans but to low for the automatic unless you are happy with 14 mpg and 2800-3200 cruse rpm. I would go with 3.0-3.10 with an auto. My setup also runs a RV type cam and I...

    Guys that run 15"-16" wheels what tires?

    It's a Tag #: HCC-AX (MS) or HCC-AW (PS) . The AX would only be from a GT or a standard car with the handling option. The AW boxes are from power steering cars and are the same ratio but have a different bearing preload. You shouldn't be able to feel the differents if the box has a few 1000...

    Weber Carbs?

    Anyone using these on a sbf? They look interesting and cost about the same as a 3x2 setup. Is there a proformance gain over conventional carbs? I have seen on ebay a setup with manifold for $1995 I think they were IDF 44's

    anybody tried powerfire distributors?

    I work and sell capitol manufacturing equipment directly to manufactures. The new health care bill is going to cripple manufacturing and if Cap & Trade passes, we will see the end of all major manufacturing in the USA. Whats worse is this is being sold to the general public as a the only way...

    Guys that run 15"-16" wheels what tires?

    Check out MustangSteve.com web site. He has a lot of pics and info on tire fitment with different suspensions. I have 235 x 17" all the way around one car and love the look. Put 215 x 15" on the other and I dont think I could gotten anything bigger up front without rubbing issues with a 2" drop.

    T5 in a 66

    You can use your stock 66 Z bar and cluch linkage if you want. Just need to mod the bellhousing to add the pivot piont and then use your 66 clutch fork. I have one car set up this way and the other with the Mustang Steve pedal and cable kit. You have to bend the bottom of your cowl from under...

    new manual steering box or tcp manual r&p

    I forgot to mention that after I decided on the rack, I choose to add RRS stuts also. It would not have made a lot of sense to have a different make rack with the RRS Struts. They are engineered to work together. I wanted a system that could be removed without any evidence of ever being...

    new manual steering box or tcp manual r&p

    The RRS does use a OEM rack and that is part of the advantage. If you need a rebuild it can be done at any shop. The RRS system totally eliminates bump steer and uses standard Ford tie rod ends. It maintains a correct Ackerman angle which is one of the problems of the cheap pinto style rack...

    new manual steering box or tcp manual r&p

    Well I have a RRS r&p system in two different cars and I have non of the problems listed with other racks. I do have RRS strut conversions on both cars also. This may be the reason that I have not experienced any turning radius issues. I can tell you that with the same steering input you...
