    Metal Fender Flares for 65 Mustang

    First, Steel must think you're talking about a 10" tire because I've read enough posts from him to know that he realizes a 10" wheel won't fit on the first generation cars. I couldn't agree with you more with respect to fender flares for first generation cars. We have no viable options. The...

    the difference between 68 and 68 gt

    302s came out in 1968. They only came with a 4 barrell carb and were rated at 230 horsepower in '68. 289s were also used that year, though, in order to use up what Ford had on hand.

    How many people have actually done I6 to V-8 Conversion

    You're right. I did exaggerate when I said zero cost, but as you pointed out, the cost is minimal. Insofar as your end value being higher with a V8 car, I think that probably depends on what you intend to do with it. If you're essentially restoring the car, absolutely. If, however, you're...

    67 Shelby tail light panel question

    Absolutely. Why hack the car if its not necessary and you're not sure if its something you're going to want five years down the road? From everything I've ever read about LED's, if its done right, this is the obvious choice.

    Help with my 5.0 combo !!

    Whatever you choose, don't limit youself with that Performer intake. As it has been said many times on this forum, that is essentially a bone stock Ford intake take-off. It will not flow enough to support your current or any future upgrades. Go with a Weiand Stealth or an Eldebrock RPM (Air...

    How many people have actually done I6 to V-8 Conversion

    You are all making good points that can essentially be summed up as follows: If you want a cruiser with stock suspension that has recently been rebuilt, then buy a V8 car, assuming, of course, that the price is right. One thing I've learned over the years is that you can always buy a restored...

    What kind of G's (force) can a protouring firstgen put out?

    I am dated in my knowledge on this subject, and I'm sure Edbert has done his homework on this subject, as he has on every subject I've seen him interject on. It may have been nothing more than marketing claims they couldn't back up, but Global West claimed in or around 1997 that a '65 Mustang...

    66' 289 engine help please!!!

    Unless your car is a 4x4, it doesn't have a transfer case. :D I agree that it's likely a rocker arm.

    Opinions for rear gears with a T5

    In researching something for another thread tonight, I stumbled upon the following on this topic, which seems to be quite logical to me: http://www.dbperformance.biz/askdb.htm#q1 Keep in mind, however, that our cars are somewhat lighter than the late models the article is speaking to, which...

    Front seat: NOT ENOUGH ROOM !

    As I stated on another thread regarding seats, I completely removed the seat platforms when I replaced the floorpans and installed my '86 or '87 GT seats :shrug: in about 1990. I'm not sure that I'd recommend it knowing what the good folks at :SNSign: have taught me since that time. However...

    seats?

    I think any seat will pretty much work. The question is what has to be done to make it work. I have the exact same, Recaro style buckets from an '86 or '87 GT that TheChevyEater has on the following page: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=513328&page=39 (just scroll until you see...

    Mirror ideas for my 67

    I have a '65 coupe, and I used electric mirrors from a fox body convertible ('91 model GT, IIRC). I mounted them on the upper side of the door instead of the channel in the body line where the factory mirrors are located. I painted them body color as well. I wish I had pics to offer, but my...

    Keep the fastback or go modern?

    Unlike some others here, I agree and dream of the day I can drive my car again on a daily basis. I did for about 10 years, which was awesome as the car was pretty damn nice at the time and was a hell of a lot more fun to drive than the POS's I've driven since then, but it did not have AC or any...

    we could all use a laugh...

    I had an "interesting" experience at a Castrol GTX quick change oil place recently. I took my daily driver 4Runner in for an oil change. I know I shouldn't use these places, but I live in an apartment in the city and don't have a proper place to work on anything. That's why my car is 2.5...

    How to have sex in the backseat of a 65

    I always thought that was the reason the quarter windows rolled down. Worked for me. :shrug: All those legs have to go somewhere. :Word:

    The SN65 project car

    You may be right Larry. I thought I had seen standard door panels, but I could very well be wrong. I tried to check the sn65 website, but it appears to be down right now. If Bob is using the pony door panels, it seems to me that you could flush mount the switches in the integral armrests.
