    Cam selection for my 289

    the cam you have is basically the same cam that was in my 351 interceptor from the factory...nuttin' special. i swapped mine for a comp magnum, 292 duration/ 510 lift. it has a nice lope at idle, yet smoothes out just off idle. btw, ford motorsports has discontinued all smallblock flat...

    9" rear end question (bearing sizes)

    the frpp kit is basically an off the shelf explorer setup. the good news is that the crown vic uses the same deal for small bearing axles. ultrastang did a writeup a while back, which covers the swap. iirc,the later police packages came with slotted rotors as a bonus...

    Columbus,OH Spring Swap

    very much so... the car corral alone fills two buildings! just do yourself a favor, and make a shopping list, notating what you can buy the parts from through different vendors... i found last spring some sellers think their parts are made of gold, and wanted top dollar from them. also, if you...

    Sound opinions

    i pretty much cobbled mine up, i used summits x pipe kit, the magna flows, a pair of hedmans offsets (for the 45 degree bend out of my shorties,) and flowmasters tailpipe kit. as a sidebar, i was able to hang the tailpipes high enough to come through the valance with no additional bending.

    Sound opinions

    if you are concerned with loud, stay away from the flowmaster 40's. and most likely the 50's, too. you will end up with a very annoying drone at about 2500-3000 rpm, too boot. i love the sound of my 65 with 2 1/2" exhaust into an x pipe, magnaflows, which exit through the valance... it sounds...

    Speaker hole door repair.

    welded or glued in patch, the texture is history... why not cover the holes with a set of the factory speaker grilles? even though the location is wrong, is will look better than what you have now.

    5.8 EFI

    go with the shock tower mounts from an early (64.5-early 65) mustang, or the aftermarket mounts which will allow you to jiggle the engine around as you see fit. as far as the headers go, the hedman elite series fit really well. which even with the late 65 mounts will fit, although they are...

    Speaker hole door repair.

    there are panel adhesives on the market that will give you a repair that is as strong as welding...i would cut a backer about 1 inch larger than the hole, and then a patch the same size and shape as the hole.

    AOD for a 65 Help! I need a 4th gear!

    while it is true the aod input shaft is the weak link in a pretty good trans, some are better than others... check around transmission shops, and look for one that has sort of a groove (it is actually a recess to hold a hog ring) at the end of the splines which are at both ends. this is the best...
