    You have to use a puller tool to get the balancer off.

    When is it necessary to use a scattershield?

    I would say with your powerlevels to use one. I mean, it's cheap insurance for your legs right?

    hardened valve seats in a 302?

    My old stock heads never had hardened seats and ran just fine for years with unleaded, even back when the car was a daily driver (before I owned it).

    8" Rear End

    Last year I tried ordering a built 8" third member from MAE. It's like they didn't want my business, I contacted him and got a price and told him I would like to order it. Jack said he'd send a request for payment in my paypal. A week goes by and nothing, so I email him back saying that I...

    Has anyone heard of swapping Explorer rear disc brakes onto a 9"?

    Hmm because I am looking at that article, and it appears the calipers just bolt onto the new backing plate.

    9" Rear Axle

    Freeplay is normal, 1/8" does not seem excessive at all.

    Has anyone heard of swapping Explorer rear disc brakes onto a 9"?

    I'm still thinking about my brake options, and I came across this article on the net: http://www.mustangandfords.com/howto/28733/ Basically they say that Disc brakes from an explorer 8.8 rear will pretty much be a direct bolt-on for the type of housing/housing ends I have (New style big...

    Is it a 289 or 302? (2nd try to post)

    A friend of mine with a 68 coupe also has a 302 block 289, so it is pretty common and in no way a bad thing.

    Well, I will be able to join the 9" club. Couple of questions

    They look like they're 11" and 2" or so in width (I didn't measure them out exactly). Clearance won't be an issue because I have 16" wheels. I'm only asking because these brakes will have to be completely rebuilt to use, where as I just did the brakes on my car with new shoes, drums, springs...

    Well, I will be able to join the 9" club. Couple of questions

    Well, I will be able to join the 9" club. Couple of questions though I took a look at that rear that was for sale, and decided that it was a pretty good deal for $300 cdn. Turns out, after looking up the codes on the tag that it's a 9" out of a 74 Pickup truck, and it will have to be...

    Cam kit suggestions

    Your cam will be limited to your stock torque convertor. With a manual car, you can get away with a bigger cam (No worries about stalling in gear). I would really suggest you don't bother with a cam until you know what you are going to do as far as transmissions go.

    Lengthening axle housing tubes? Is it possible?

    Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I'm going to take a closer look at the unit in person tomorrow. It is enticing because the guy says it's got a 3.50:1 ratio and Trak-loc, complete from drum to drum for $300 (Cdn). I think if I could just get the pumpkin out of it, that it would be a...

    Do you use your classic as your daily driver? Pros and Cons?

    Hell no, they put so much salt on the roads up here in the winter months that my car would have terminal cancer in a year.

    Lengthening axle housing tubes? Is it possible?

    I realize that, I just wanted to know if it would be a problem, and what I could do to correct it.
