    I want to 'downgrade' to a v6, tell me what you think

    Is this just currently an "idea" or have you done any real work on the project? My question to you is have you done any investigation farther than finding that you can use a Windstar bellhousing with a 1 inch spacer....for which you will also need a 94/95 input shaft and support? The reason I...

    58 Ford 9 inch in 65 Mustang - "Red 65"

    If it is the right length I see no problems with it clearing the tunnel.

    does this sounds high for 1/4 skin replacment cost?

    That is cheap.

    Am I the only one who?

    Hmm, I did not realize you were sleeping with your tires. Sorry dude. Radial TAs of any flavor are mediocre tires at best. Sorry if you don't like the truth. Should I refer you to a good friend of mine who works for Michelin, who owns B.F. Goodrich....who makes these tires? He will tell you...

    Am I the only one who?

    They may look nice but they are simply not that great of a tire considering how far tire technology has come. They are horrible in rain and that is when you need a good tire in my opinion.

    Heidt's Rear 4-Link Coil-Over Suspension

    It is a completely streetable suspension setup even though it is designed for the track. There is only one level of Griggs....all the way. You can drive this car anyway you choose. It is totally race oriented if you choose to race but can be daily driven is you choose. It is fully adjustable...

    Heidt's Rear 4-Link Coil-Over Suspension

    I'm not sure I understand. There is only one Griggs setup for the early cars and this one is a 66 coupe. I am doing the full front and back suspension, mini-tubs, and roll cage. This car is being built for the track yet will be completely streetable if desired.

    Heidt's Rear 4-Link Coil-Over Suspension

    I am building a Griggs GR-350 out of a coupe as we speak and I really don't think there is any competitor that can match this setup performance wise. It is not cheap but you will have the best rear suspension under a 40 year old car you can buy. Four links suspensions are yesterday's...

    Wetsanded Through The Clear. Now What?

    Sorry zookeeper but you cannot simply re-clear a panel if you have sanded though to the base coat because that spot will show right through the clear. The entire panel needs to be re-base coated first with at least one good coat and then 3-5 coats of clear added. The problem is the paint...

    Trading my air conditioning lower dash......

    You should be keeping the AC stuff. One day you wll be old and wish you had it and by then it will not be available at any price you would be willing to spend.

    65 mustang mini tub

    The limiting factor is the rear part of the frame as it angles out to support the back of the leaf spring. Because of this I was only able to move the inner fender in 1.5". I only went up to the frame on this car as I cannot notch the frame in anyway to keep within SCCA guidelines for the...

    t5 crossmember question (really bad fit)

    I'm really not sure what could be causing your problems. Do you have any pictures? That would help. There should be no reason to slot the holes on a crossmember to get it to fit. I built my own which has two benefits.....not only does it fit I have the proper drivetrain angle. If you buy...

    2005-2007 Mustang GT Front Brakes?

    2005-2007 Mustang GT Front Brakes?

    I am not sure of the hub size but if they are anything like the last generation Mustang's the rotors will not fit on classic hubs. I have a set of 2001 GT brakes in the garage and the rotor hat is too small to fit on a 66 hub.

    65 mustang mini tub

    That tire in the wheel well is a 285. I am not sure exactly how much room is in there now as the rearend is not installed under the car yet. As soon as it is I can take some measurements and see just how much tire can fit. The goal was to make THOSE tires fit as they are the ones being used...

    65 mustang mini tub

    I am not sure if this will help but I will post the photo album of the mini-tubs I just did recently. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/hertzshelby66/album?.dir=/a3e7re2&.src=ph&.tok=phfLRXFBCyL1Ete0 This car is not going to use leaf springs at all since it is receiving the full Griggs setup.

    what is this ?

    It sounds like exactly what I described. Someone rigged a homemade block drain and never plugged it or the plug fell out. Simply unsrcrew the fitting from the side of the block and put a plug in it's place.

    Balancer seal saver....

    I have used them in the past. They do work for a while. They are expensive and not always easy to install. You can ruin one real quick. Why not just invest in a new balancer. You can get a budget one from Summit for under $100 delivered.

    what is this ?

    In the lower corner of the block near the oil pan? Is the hose blocked off? Without any other info it sounds like a home fashioned block drain to remove coolant.

    what vales for C9OE/D0OE 351w heads ?

    There is not enough room in that head for 2.02 intake valves and the flow simply does not warrant them. You should definitely not run the stock original valves as they are two piece and are prone to failure.....especially with age. Since you have to change the valves and you have to change the...
