    stupid rice burners

    I am going to try to build a sleeper. (My Ghia was almost a sleeper). I have trouble with restraint though :D I am going to shoe-horn a 200 hp J spec MX6 2.5l into my 93 Mazda 323. People with similar set-up's are running high 12's low 13's. The quickness is based on extreme power to weight...

    Did I mention I met a Monroe Handler? Pics

    After I viewed the photos my antenna went up and now it won't go down. Wonder what's wrong with it?

    Is my II abnormal?

    Girl I thought I was going to find the end of the internet before I found you a link! As mentioned before "Shaving" is removing stuff and filling the hole. Common things to shave (on a car) are emblems, door handles, antenna, and trunk locks. Shaving these obstructions makes the car look...

    Real-live 4 cyl Cobra II on ebay

    Mustang II's make me smile. When I was young me and all of my friends had one. When I drive the II to my friends houses they always grin ear to ear when they see it too. The II always changes the conversation from stress, work, morgages, RRSP's minivans, kids, wives, x-wives to remember when we...

    Real-live 4 cyl Cobra II on ebay

    I worded it kinda funny. The C4 it self is nothing special just a removeable bellhousing style C4. My 74 Mach 1 was a 6cyl, My T-top 2+2 was a 6cyl, My 1978 Ghia was a 6cyl and my Current 78 Mach 1 T-top was a V8 car. I swapped 8's into them all save for the 74. My 4cyl Knowledge is a little...

    Real-live 4 cyl Cobra II on ebay

    Although hinted on, no one really listed what would be needed for a V8 Swap. -1975-1978 Mustang II motor mounts and frame mounts. Motor mounts can be bought new from Ford, frame mounts must be sourced used. (someone here likely has some). -A II has a II specific C4 Automatic transmission...

    stupid rice burners

    I dismantle cars at a wrecker that specializes in very late model cars. I would have to say that the late model *** cars are much safer then say ten year old ones. I often do Tower/Cowl/Quarter cuts and The *** cars are made of much thinner metal. I have noticed lately that 2003 to present...

    stupid rice burners

    I have owned every car in the alphabet from Acura to Volkswagon so far. (Looking into Volvo so I can say I did it all). [Excluding the high buck stuff] Each car manufacture excels at certain things. They are all products that have an eight year life cycle. Drive what you like, they are all crap...

    It's the little things...

    The small stuff will get you every time! My good friend bought my old 91 Lincoln Mark VII (that's one of the Lincoln with the 5.0l H.O and the Roller cam). I helped him lower a new engine into it previously. He went to our shop early in the morning and worked on the car all day, trying to get it...

    I took my car down to the shell when it was painted and me with help? from the short guy that looks like me, got it back togeather in a week-end. We put all trim and lights back in. We put the door and quarter glass back in also. We left the hatch glass and windshield to the experts. The glass...

    stupid rice burners

    The movie Fast & the Furious started a fad of fart can mufflers loud paint and silly body kits. Although there is still a big poser population of tuner cars out there, you can not ignore the core group of real car enthusists. I was the manager of a speed shop for a number of years and I watched...

    Window Trim?

    I have just the ticket! I love old Ford shop manuals (I have many) check it out! I could not find the shot of the door but it is much like the quarter window. Remove the inner door panel and door glass and the trim un-screws from the back. People on the forum reported that tremclad works well. I...

    Please help me settle this arguement!

    The POINT of no return was right when you said " I've wanted to do the EFI/Roller block/OD trans for a long time" The exact word in the sentence that POINTS out your blundered purchase ".....Roller...." :D I guess you ment the guy who owned the Lincoln in 1988 was a high "roller" my...

    Please help me settle this arguement!

    Wart an 1988 Lincoln Town Car has a 150 hp 302. The 225 hp roller cam H.O came in the 88-92 Lincoln Mark VII and the 87-93 Mustang LX & GT. The 86-87 Mark VII and the 86 Mustang GT & LX 5.0l had the 200HP lump. Just for interest sake put the Town car engine backed with a C5 on root to a...

    Please help me settle this arguement!

    Since I do not see any outsiders that would object to me sending this tread in a totaly new off-topic direction here goes :D The topic of using what you have and not throwing money at a car was raised. I am a huge hipocrit because the only thing not new on my car was the side glass and body...

    Wheels-Tires Wheel/tire Combos Known To Fit

    I have not tried these wheels, but American Racing's aplication guide is 99.9% accurate (I sold their product for many years). Check out the Ansen's re-released in 15x7" to fit the II! The last time I was this happy was when Green Day brought out a new album or when I got divorced. :banana...

    American Racing Slotted Mags

    As eveybody knows bolt circle and proper back spacing is only half the battle of fitting a wheel to a car. Center bore and proper cailper clearance also come in to play. I checked american Racing's aplication guide and the 15X7" Ansen Slot is listed as fitting the II. The 17" is not listed...
