    Header Question

    In my opinion, if you want to keep the vintage look then run the Hipo manifolds. I like to run long tubes, Hokker has a set for around $200 last time I checked which was not too much more than a set of Tri-Ys. Shortys or Tri-Ys will keep lower end torque which would be good paired with a dual...

    Has Anyonr Retrofited A Newer Mustang Rear Anti Swaybar To 67 Mustang

    I've been away for a long time, late response and you already went with an Addco, but you can make anything work. I have a 2003 Mustang swaybar in the rear of my 66. What you want is a balance between front and rear sway bars. 1-1/8" front swaybar should be paired with a 7/8" rear, 1" front...

    Battery Relocation

    I've sparked the battery in my trunk, I'm still alive. People have been installing batteries in the trubk for decades and I've never heard of anyone exploding. They must all die, and there are never witnesses. I put together my own battery relocation kits. I use 0 gauge ground wire from a...

    wanted: USS Missouri/Insayne Stangs pic

    Wow it's been a while. Wonder what happened to everyone. Green GT, were you the guy that was DOD security? I wrote that message while I was still in the service. I've been out 2 years now. I still have my other 66 Mustang I was building in the autohobby shop on Hickam. Dropped in a 408...

    Ground Clearance

    I have Ford Powertrain headers too and love them. They tuck up nice and tight, even with my lowered engine. My ground clearance was 3/4" at the headers before the FPAs. Now the lowest point is the bellhousing. Used to get caught on everything, but I went with a taller wheel/tire combo.

    Need engine opinions/ideas BOSS 347

    Agree, why pay $695 when you can probably find a complete engine locally used for less, tear it down to the block and clean it up, you have the same thing Summit is selling. I like the mock boss idea, if you're going to go that route use a main girdle. You could use a BOSS 302 intake, or...

    T56 Owners

    The link I sent you (Billet shifter) is basically the same thing as the Z06 piece but a bolt-on. If you do the Z-06 mod straight back your shifter base will be sitting on the driveshaft. If you raise the shifter to clear the driveshaft then the shift rod will be above the tunnel and inside...

    Ebay, here's one but it doesn't have the base Z06 shifter I cut into my t56 housing, it might be more involved than you want to get into. There are other options. Billet shifter VMF Shifter thread Go Baby Go

    T56 Owners

    Not sure who you're asking, Shakin66 and I both relocated the shifter but I suppose I can answer for both of us. Shakin's is the Roboshifter from Mustang's Plus. Mine is a Z06 shifter rotated 180 degrees. I made my own adapter and coupling. Both shifters are bolted to the trans hump. The...

    '68 side scoop on '66?

    So you're saying if you go without the side scoops you wouldn't have creased the bumper of the Toyota? Well, just don't park next to Toyotas and you'll be okay. I'm just being a smartass.

    '68 side scoop on '66?

    It has crossed my mind in the past to use the 67/68 Shelby side scoop as well. It might take some massaging but I think it could work. The body lines might be different. I'm sure someone has done it in the past.
