    The SN65 project car

    Not to offend anyone, but with the late model dash, console, and all of the creature comforts this ride will have, I think the window cranks would look out of place. To me, the theme on the inside of this ride is modern. I especially think the window cranks would look out of place if they...

    stang is back from the paint shop...

    One small critique, though. You need to do some work on your trunk lid fit. Otherwise, it's looking good, and I look forward to seeing it once you get it washed and put back together. Better quality pics would be a plus, but who am I to say anything; I don't even own a digital camera. :notnice:

    Quick Quick Final Thing Before The Drive!!!!!!

    You may not have a problem. T5's are notorious for not meshing into reverse without first putting the transmission in a forward gear. My T5 will grind every time I try to put it in reverse if I don't put it in first gear beforehand. Try putting it in first before trying to put it in neutral...

    How close is to close to the springs

    The answer obviously depends on sidewall deflection. Since you're running 15's and your tires are bulged out, you will have more sidewall deflection than someone would with 17's of equal height. One thing you could do to try and test the fit would be putting a lot of weight on the rear end to...

    Started out as a good day - quickly went down

    That could be correct or incorrect. A 351 W block is just a taller deck version of a 302 block. That is the reason the intake is wider for a 351W; the heads set further apart. The headers will work if 1) they don't contact the shock towers since the engine is wider and 2) if they are long...

    12sec67, when are you going to post some real pics of the car? Come on man, those super huge pics you posted don't really tell us anything. I know you have the camera as 10secgoal often depends on you for pics. :worthlesb

    Looking for ideas to go from ordinary to extrodinary!

    You asked for opinions, so I have to state that I don't think the side vent thing is going to work. It might work if you wanted to do some other mods that would fit with the side vents, but for the most part it sounds like you're wanting to keep the body very stock appearing with the exception...

    wheel hop Help!!

    I've found that clutch chatter greatly contributed to my wheel hop problems in the past. What kind of clutch are you running? Are you running the original Z-bar linkage or a clutch or hydraulic setup? I'm, unfortunately, still running the Z-bar linkage as I converted to a T-5 before cable...

    What's the difference?

    A blower and a supercharger are one in the same. You also have options with any of these set-ups. You have centrifugal superchargers, which are belt driven and mount like an engine accessory, and you have roots and/or twin screw type blowers that mount like an intake manifold. With respect to...

    anyone interested in a new watts link and a 3 or 4 link in here

    Based on what Bnickel said and what I've been able to gather, I think I would definitely be interested in a 3 link setup. I look forward to hearing more about this product.

    Check out my future paint job....

    Wow, I wasn't digging his concept necessarily, although I knew something about it had potential. You hit the friggin nail on the head! I still wonder, however, simply form a curiosity standpoint, how your rendering would look with the following deviations: 1. With the silver stripe wider...

    Looking for ideas to go from ordinary to extrodinary!

    DarkBuddha definitely made some good points regarding body repair with smoothed seams. I have thought about the same even though my rockers, front valance, and rear valance are seamless. Nevertheless, I think it's worth the trouble for the appearance improvement. That being said, I think...

    new intake, cam, and carb?

    Where have you been lately D. Hearne? Your post count has greatly diminished recently. With you and Historic on hiatus quite often of late, the evil forces are at work spreading misinformation about FE's and suspension handling tips! :Word: :D Seriously, I was hoping you'd opine on this...

    anyone interested in a new watts link and a 3 or 4 link in here

    bnickel, after checking out those links, I think you would probably get a better response if you posted a link regarding the advantages/disadvantages of each of these different types of rear suspension set-ups. I, for one, would like to know. :D I have read a great deal on this subject, such...

    351 Clevland Heads

    Thanks!! I couldn't remember the name of the company that made these parts. You may be right about the Cleveland shorties possibly working, and the Aussie heads would be the choice for a 289/302. As I mentioned above, I have a friend who has a B&A intake for a 289/302 that he is not using...

    351 Clevland Heads

    There is a 351W based Clevor and a 289/302 based Clevor. The problem, as others have stated, is that the company that made the intakes and headers for this hybrid has been out of business for a number of years. Both the intake and headers are VERY pricey IF you can find them. I have a buddy...
