    Lowered Mustangs

    I'm in the south and I'm tired of seeing overkill tires in the back. I think 275s are about as big as you can go w/o being too much. Nobody should need a 315 size tire, unless for looks. But hey, each to their own.

    Lowered Mustangs

    Heaven forbid we lower our stangs and slap big tires out back ;) I agree, to a point they look good. 315 or similiar looks redneck.

    terrible quarter mile time

    If you're running slicks + auto w/o a high stall, you'll bog like crazy off the line. That's why there's higher stall converters. Plus you added weight in the front with the bigger tires. And 16 sec sounds reasonable out of a 30 y.o basically stock classic.

    looking to buy a 73 fastback shell

    Yeah, you're right. I'm 22 now. I wouldn't be looking for a project if our house needed lots of work, but honestly it needs nothing. Previous owners fixed it up really nice, and then decided to sell. Got a great price and actually our mortgage payment is going to be less than what we currently...

    looking to buy a 73 fastback shell

    How much should I spend? I've been back and forth with this, like what you said. I really don't want to pay for somebody else's nice interior + paint when I'm going to redo it anyway, but I don't want to have a big rust issue either.

    looking to buy a 73 fastback shell

    a guy posted this on a local board that I post on, but I thought he was asking too much for it. Am I being too cheap, or is this really want 73 fastback (non-mach) shells are going for? http://forums.bamamafia.com/index.php?showtopic=11130

    looking to buy a 73 fastback shell

    I know your far away but we have a couple 351c blocks if you were interested in doing one. Just take one off our hands. I'll have to do an inventory check but we have some other stuff too. Here's a couple of the better pics of my car, pretty painful, I wish I could have it back :(

    351 CLEVELAND MODS QUESTION?

    I do not think there is a cost efficient aftermarket replacement head for the 351c. And whatever you do, do NOT use the 280H. step upto a 292 or bigger. A 280H is too small behind a 351c, power cuts out way too early. When we ran a bigger cam, the car drove just as good, but pulled much...

    351 CLEVELAND MODS QUESTION?

    I'd call a machine shop and talk to them, they'll give you some ideas. And listen to 69Stang. He is the Godfather of 351C performance ;) :D

    good tires for traction?

    a drag radial like a nitto or mt isn't going to last very long on the street.

    good tires for traction?

    Kumho tires offer great bang for the buck. the 711/712s are directional tread for usually under 100$.

    looking to buy a 73 fastback shell

    I'll try and give you a call tomorrow george. Where are you located at? I'm only interested in 73 fastback. My plan is to rebuild another like I had before the fire. I'm in Alabama Platonic. I never lost the mustang fever, just lost the garage and finances to do one :) Now that we have a...

    looking to buy a 73 fastback shell

    Hey guys, long time no see, again :D My wife and I found a house, so that means one thing. Well a couple things actually, but anyway :). A garage = space for me to get another mach. Long story short, I lost my 73 mach 1 in a fire and I still don't have it back from my mom. I never will, so I...

    headers w/4 spd 351 C Possible?

    I'm not sure why they wouldn't fit. As far as I know, 4spds aren't that wide. Get some headers, they're worth it. Check for 70 351C mustang headers.

    gears and mpg

    if you don't want to go broke driving back/forth to school, buy a 500$ honda and drive it. if your gas mpg is that bad, it'll pay for itself after several months. Mine did. If you're worried about gas mpg in your classic mustang, you're driving the wrong car. 3.55s will wake the car up but...
