    Time to update the 68

    What size spacers are on there now? I think a 1" spacer on all 4 corners will work with those rims..

    Time to update the 68

    If it were me... I'd get the $500 grab a trak suspension - rach & pinion steering - use steves brake conversion for $800 I think. You'd be good to go with what your needs are.

    New to Stangnet with a few Q's

    275 no prob in the rear of a 68. I had test fit a 9.5" rim with 275 - fit perfect I did not even have rolled fenders.. I have a friend who has a 10" rim with 295's on there - granted those are 18's but should fit the same if they were 17's...

    need to make a decision on and engine damn soon

    I personally went with a 1990+ due to it's 1 piece rear main seal. Some say to get a 95+ due to something else.. sorry I cant think of it, but it does cost more for that block and requires extra items... Again sorry I cant tell you what those are, they seem to have slipped my mind..

    need to make a decision on and engine damn soon

    I just finished this thought process as well... :) I have a 302 currently- but I decided to upgrade to the 351W ----so much more room to grow and not as expensive as you would think. I got a remanufactured engine new pistons, cam, valve springs, stock heads.. $1500 to the door.. Comes...

    94+ huh - I'll check on that. Yeah I had thought originally that I had a 351 - bought a new intake - found out I had a 302. (Im new to engines, but learning alot) So I have a 351W intake already, and a 750cfm edelbrock carb, New fuel Pump, Valve covers, Timing cover, and more all for the 351...

    Started out as a good day - quickly went down

    Well I finally made some progress on my engine dilema thanks to you guys and some others not on this board. I've decided to purchase a 1990+ 351W (1 piece main seal) with a few upgrades from stock. This engine is going to be built for me as a remanufactured engine from a local company here...

    Started out as a good day - quickly went down

    Very good advice.. I think I am going to let it fester in my head for awhile before jumping into anything. The quick and easy route would be to keep the 302 and build it up nice - The better long term choice would be the 351 and build it up with my parts. I guess that choice would also make...

    Someone in here said the headers I have would fit either a 302 or a 351. Is that incorrect?

    Started out as a good day - quickly went down

    Yeah, I wasnt too concerned with the engine when I bought the car - my main concern was a solid and straight body... LUCKILIY I have that.. :) My goal has always been to replace the engine, so not too distraught by that either, I was just going to start in on suspension/handling rims/tires...

    Started out as a good day - quickly went down

    Yup I am a ford newb... But I rather make mistakes and learn from them, than be scared to ever learn... :) Yeah - the intake size was my first item that made me start to research what I actaully had in my car. I am thinking of pulling the 302 and putting in a 351 - I should be able to find...

    Started out as a good day - quickly went down--UPDATED!! Well not too long ago I had purchased this 68 coupe with a 351W engine in there. Runs great, needed a few small upgrades here and there, so I started stock piling all the parts I needed. Started the tear down and install yesterday...

    Problems Seeing Attachments Anyone?

    Had the same problem - it turns out the security's for my browswer were too high - I brought them down, and now all pics can be seen... What browser you using? I use firefox - I actually had to go into IE and reduce the settings in there, as firefox "share" settings. Good luck.
