    Battery Wiring Question

    Oh, Also As far as the fusible link needed for the alternator, should I put that between the alternator and the post? the Painless and RJM harnesses have their own fuses so no worries there. I'm guessing the MSD box has an internal fuse? not sure about that.

    Starter Solenoid Interior Mounting

    Is there any drawback to mounting the starter solenoid on the firewall on the inside of my car? would it be dangerous? seems I can hide most if not all of the wiring in the engine compartment if I just mount it inside the car.

    Spring removal?

    I use the compressors for coil overs. They go in the outside of the spring and are way easier to use. Give those a try maybe. You can rent them for free usually at part stores.

    ENGINE LOCATION?

    RMP motor mounts will do the trick. Just make sure to get the lowering ones.

    New heads?

    You could probably get a set of E7TE heads off a late model 5.0 and do a little home porting to them. That's always a good bang for the buck. If you wanna step it up more find a set of GT40 (Not the "p") heads. Those don't require any porting and will give you a really nice bump in power.

    Too close for comfort?

    I would just buy some header wrap and wrap the header in the area where the hose comes close. Just extend along the header say 5" of each side of the hose and you should be fine. They also make heat sleeves for clutch cables that I'm sure you could use on this as well. I wrapped my headers...

    Did you change the master cylinder? The pushrod may need to be adjusted.

    FR500 sizing vs 1966 5bolt sizing

    If you're going to be putting on those wheels. just get the standard backspaced ones for the 1999-2004 Mustangs and use a 1" wheel spacer all around. They should be fine then. depending on tire size you might have to roll the fender lips for clearance sake.

    2011/12 DOHC modular 5.0 suitable for swap?

    Even the 390 won't fit in your '66 so regardless of that fact it won't fit. The modular engines are huge. I would stick with a 302(5.0) or the 351 but like you said you wanted the 302. It will definitely save you time and money and headaches just going with a pushrod motor unless you have the...

    2011/12 DOHC modular 5.0 suitable for swap?

    That engine will never fit int he engine bay of your '66 without some major surgery. Look into a Mustang II front end. Honestly you're gonna spend a crap load of money and all you'll get is the wow factor at car shows. If you plan on having a driver just get a 351W and stroke it out to 427 if...

    Did Cobra actually offer this?

    The only reason for the 2 carb setup is the "wow" factor nowadays. There's not much of a benefit to running two carbs over one in my opinion. I say get yourself a nice Weiand or Edelbrock intake and a carb to match and you can put the other $200 elsewhere.

    Which Injectors

    Ok so this is probably a dumb question but I want to get a straight answer before I spend my money. My question is not regarding sized injectors 19lb vs 24lb etc because I'm going with the 24's. My question is I see different types. There are the EV6 and EV1 etc. I'm going to be running a 93...
