    200 ci Inline-6 with headers

    headers are not going to be much help, unless you are going to rework the head by porting the exhaust, and opening up the intake with more than just a two barrel conversion.

    Engine swap? Or engine upgrade?

    cost is kind of relative at this point. how much is very hard to say because of so many variables. there was a time when making 500hp from a big block would cost you about 500-1000 dollars. not these days though. too many variables to list, things like labor rates, parts cost, how muc work you...

    Engine swap? Or engine upgrade?

    since you are starting with a 67, you have fewer parts to replace. with the 65-66 cars you have to replace the spindles, starting in 67 you dont as they are the same as the V8 spindles. after that you need to replace engine mounts, chassis mounts, trans, and rear end for the big stuff. as for...

    Tires

    the biggest tire is not always the best way to go. my advice would be to run 17x8 in front 17x9 in the rear. for tires a 235/45-17 in front and a 255/45-17 in the rear would be plenty of tire for your stang. personally though i prefer the same size tire and wheel on all four corners, but to each...

    four lug spindle 1965 Mustang

    agreed. i think the largest wheel that should be used on a vintage car is 17", 18s on trucks.

    four lug spindle 1965 Mustang

    i think scarebird uses an 11" rotor. for day to day driving that will be sufficient.

    Upper control arm replacement

    if you have the choice by the moog parts, they have the best reputation in the suspension game for a large manufacturer.

    four lug spindle 1965 Mustang

    if you just want front disc brakes for your four lug car, then either buy a complete kit sold at many suppliers, like NPD, or go to scarbird mechanical and get their bracket kit and buy the parts they list. it all goes together nicely as many have noted at fordsix.com. the six cylinder spindle...

    V8 swap on my '66 mustang 200ci engine to v8 302

    i believe the V8 physically fits with the six cylinder linkage, though some have noted interference with the oil pan. it depends on the engine mounts used, IE factory or aftermarket, and year of the mounts used. for instance the 65 mounts allow the engine to sit a tad lower than the 66 mounts do.

    1967 inline-6 Ford Mustang single barrel carb to double barrel carb

    ok a few things here since i have done this swap, and am considering doing it with another car. you have two options, actually a few depending on what diretion you want to go. you can use a one barrel to two barrel adapter, there are a number of them out there. this has the advantage of...

    V8 swap on my '66 mustang 200ci engine to v8 302

    the problem with swapping a V8 in place of a six is all the parts that need to be replaced as well. you need a V8 transmission, 8" rear end, V8 front spindles, brakes, mounts, drive shaft, plus all the myriad of detail parts necessary to make the swap. oh also a change in steering linkage as...

    Low brake pedal

    ok there can be a number of reasons why you have a low brake pedal. one is using the wrong pedal ratio, air in the system, the wrong master cylinder, a bad master cylinder, a leak in the system. there can be an air bubbel in the system due to the way the brake lines are run. the first thing i...

    Only have 2nd gear

    if the transmission is stock to the car, then you have the dual range C4. it was designed so that you could start off in first gear as normal, or in second gear in adverse weather conditions, such as snow or other traction limited situations. as i recall the big green dot means you start off in...

    Amp Meter Question

    the ammeter is one gauge that doesnt move much at all. in fact you dont want it to move much at all as going to the D or discharge side means the system is pulling current from the battery. the more the needle moves, the more current is being drawn off the battery. same with the C or charge...

    Replacing bushings

    as soon as the lubricant wears off the squeaking will start up again. as for the rest, check the rest of the bushings for wear and checking, and other issues. if you do decide to replace them remember NO POLY URETHANE on the strut rods.

    Replacing bushings

    chances are the bushing for the spring perch are shot. best do yourself a favor and go to opentracker racing products, or chockostang, the best people to deal with, and get yourself a pair of roller spring perches. that will eliminate the squeaking and give you a better ride as well.

    Trans swap

    no such thing as a T5 automatic. the T5 is a manual five peed transmission. the automatic with overdrive would be the AOD and its various incarnations. the first thing you need to do is determine just what transmission you have and go from there.
