    Anyone installed 3 point seatbelts? I NEED HELP!

    Here's the link you need: http://www.customaccessoriesmfg.com/mustang.htm T-chelle's kit mounts the belt loop on the roof. The Custom Accessories mounts it on the quarter. The link I'm giving here used to be on the teenage author's personal web site, back when Pony Car Sales and Restoration...

    351C intake gasket problems

    I beg to differ, based on my personal experience with one car. With a '70 351C-2v running an RV-level cam, an Edelbrock dual plane (F-351, iirc), an Edelbrock 600 cfm with electric choke, an MSD full mechanical dizzie and Blaster II coil, and a Crane Hi6R spark amplifier, I had terrible cold...

    Well, it didn't sell

    On the CarDomain car, what's the point of those super long intake runners with a twin turbo and a 427? I would think you'd want to do all you could to cut down the low end torque. On the gas mileage issue, I thought that a turbo was the BEST solution for balancing power output with fuel...

    351C intake gasket problems

    The purpose of the turkey pan is to keep oil off the intake where the heat risers go through. If you're plugging the heat risers on your heads, you have no need for the turkey pan. (Some say the pan keeps hot oil off the intake, which keeps the intake cool, which increases charge density. I...

    Anyone have 4x6 plate speakers? Do i need crossovers?

    I like Mudbilly's idea, to hook them up to a home stereo. Just pull the speaker wire from the back of your home speakers and connect it to the Polks. If they check good then the prob's in the car install. I would definitely not use the OE speaker harness. You don't need to use Monster...

    What are the chances this setup will fit a '65?

    Wheel Hop..

    I don't think bigger springs are going to help. I had the Maier 4.5 leaf springs on my kids' '65 and had terrible wheel hop. They don't come much stiffer than the Maier 4.5 leaf springs. For that matter, Caltrac recommends that you go with their monoleaf springs when running the Caltrac bars...

    OMG WTF HAPPEND HERE!!!!

    My statement about "true car guys" is probably ambiguous. What I mean is that anyone who looks at Preston's car, and assuming it started life as e.g. a vinyl topped T code, and who would say they would like it better if it had been restored to showroom stock, is not a true car guy. He's a...

    OMG WTF HAPPEND HERE!!!!

    You know, that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw that car. I live in the SF Bay Area and I was instantly imagining sitting in the grandstands at Sears Point and watching that car go down the back straight, maybe trailing a couple Le Mans Audis or better yet some bazillionaire's Ferrari...

    OMG WTF HAPPEND HERE!!!!

    Speaking of talking to a wall . . . well anyway, here's a pic of one of the Deutscher cars: and here's the pic of Preston's: Here's what you wrote: "Those german touring car flares look nothing like that crap he put on his car." So tell me, please, exactly how Preston's...

    OMG WTF HAPPEND HERE!!!!

    Now that we've established that Stanger '66 is the Mozart of custom bodywork (and tripled his post count in the process), I'm curious of the basis for his comments about the '67 track car. To recap, here's one of the pix: Here are some of the comments: "That car is hideous." "He...

    Debating between cable and hydraulic clutch

    If you have no power brake booster, the clutch MC will fit. If you have a '69-up and power brakes, the clutch MC will fit. If you have a '65-'66 and power brakes, you will have to use a bell-crank style booster, that lifts the booster/MC out of the way of the clutch MC. This style will also...

    OMG WTF HAPPEND HERE!!!!

    I agree with the purists. I hate it when people change the looks of their Mustangs. Modified cars look like crap. Especially race ready modified. I'm glad they didn't do that kind of stuff back in the day.

    Aftermarket Front suspension & steering

    You mean to say Carroll Shelby is using a knockoff of somebody else's intellectual property on "his" GT500E? I thought that was against his religion. :rolleyes:

    302/408 Swap

    The basic thing to keep in mind is the 302/331/347 has a deck height of 8.2" and the 351/393/408/427 has a deck height of 9.5." Deck height is a measurement of block size. It's the distance from the centerline of the main bearings to the block deck, where the cylinder head sits. Both blocks...

    Can't wait any longer. Gotta spill the beans

    If I recall correctly the "Mustang in Black" -- built by DVS Restorations http://www.dvsrestorations.com/mib.html and featured in Mustang & Fords -- proceeded at first by trimming the shock towers and retaining the OE control arms. That mod was sufficient to fit a 4.6 into a '68. They switched...

    Clutch preload question with KMC unit

    I agree, it's almost comical how often it comes up in the forums, that people can't get their hydraulic clutch setups fully bled. It seems like the usual advice is, when you think you're done, you're not! The method for setting preload that McLeod puts in its hydraulic TO bearing instructions...

    22" Wheels on a 1967

    You're assuming they fit. I'm guessing we're looking at full lock steering in the photo. In fact, the "needs tow" is probably because the owner remembered too late that he lives on a dead end street. :(

    Hydraulic clutch kits.....

    The JMC kit does not include a clutch pedal. Go to Dark Horse Performance, JMC, Modern Driveline, Hanlon, or Medatronic for more help piecing together your conversion. I don't know about a '67-'68 but a '65-'66 requires a bell crank booster to clear the clutch MC. Scott Drake makes one (try...
