    Turns out my "totally stock" Notch is not quite as stock as I thought

    I did mine on my '87 the cheaper way. Didn't know about any kit at the time, so I wet sanded the entire headlight with 400 grit sandpaper. Let it dry good, then sprayed on a layer of clear coat from a spray can. Took about 15 minutes and had excellent results. Probably lasts longer with the kit...

    Best Short Throw?

    I haven't thought about making a custom arm. Might have to look into it. That MGW with full adjustability sounds nice though. But i definately want to make my own shifter handle. Have a buddy that has access to CNC machining equipment and thinking of a few designs now.

    The 4 cyl bandit strikes again...ugh...

    I love hitting the gas to WOT a couple of times and drowning out his radio, get him all excited, and watch him take off like a dumbass by himself. I do happen to get pissed off from time to time to show them up, but most times it isn't worth the ticket. Did have my @$$ handed to me one or two...

    Best Short Throw?

    I like mine the same way, but with a really short throw. I drove a freinds 2010 GT and really liked his factory shifter, besides the fact it made the one i had in my fox feel like :poo: at the time haha

    Best Short Throw?

    it has nothing to do with it. S&B just commented on how he like the Tri-Ax handle the best, and I just stated I really liked the hurst white ball knob. And i see in your sig you have a MGW. How's that working for ya?

    Best Short Throw?

    I really love the look and feel of a Hurst white ball shifter handle. Buuuutttt everyone and their brother has one it seems. whatever shifter I end up going with, I'm thinking of making my own custom handle to put that personal touch on it. Now when you say best complete package, are you...

    Best Short Throw?

    I'm wondering what everyone's opinion on the absolute BEST short throw shifter for a T-5 is? I know T-5 isn't a powerhouse tranny, and isn't going to hold up very long taking a beating and ripping gears. I plan on switching to a T-56/TKO 600 after I get my suspension where I want it and...

    OK really confused now

    Yes i am relatively new here. I have been a member of a different forum for the past 3 years but got tired of the atmosphere and really enjoyed the one here. And yes, in my 3 short years on mustang forums i too have seen this same question a jazillion times. but HE possibly hasn't. I actually...

    OK really confused now

    Come on now NikwoaC, that seemed a little harsh. the reason any of us join any forums like this is to gain insight from those who have more knowledge on certain topics. If we all wanted to dig through piles of Google results, hoping the author knows what he is doing, we wouldn't be on forums...

    Aluminum Heads Expected Gains

    so onto this future 351W build. I'd like to stay n/a, aluminum heads(heavily massaged), fuel-injected, and put 400+ to the wheels. Want to keep it a true 351 w/o boring or stroking, and have forged internals that are ready for boost if i decide to do so in the future. anybody got any input on a...

    Hello everyone new member seeking professional help!

    IMO, with a $2000 budget, I would rebuild your original 302. Get it running and have a reliable ride to and from work. Slowly work your drivetrain/chassis up to par to be able to run 12's. Once the drivetrain/chassis are there, slowly start your 351 build, going slow peice by peice. Take your...

    12 second factory fox body

    i could see it if it had slicks, upgraded rear gears, and put on a severe weight reduction program. but without any/all of this - impossible.

    302 build help

    351W's are great motors. they put down awesome hp/torque and they have been known to last about forever. If I were in your shoes, I would grab that 351, tear down the bottom end and inspect it (bearings, main caps, rods, piston rings, etc.), throw on a set of Victor Jr's and an Edelbrock 750...
