    Alignment drift?

    Bumpsteer IS defined as "toe change during vertical suspension travel". ;) The Granada/Maverick spindle's steering arm is different than a 65/66 arm - it locates the tie rod pivot approx 1/2" further "in", 1/2" "up", and 3/8" closer to the spindle pin. The tie rod assembly now travels in a...

    Alignment drift?

    Granada & Maverick spindles share the same geometry, hence the same bumpsteer problems.

    Any real benefit to an H pipe compared to regular dual exhaust?

    Actaully, the dyno chart you posted above is from the cat-convertor equipped X & H pipes. It's not apples-to-apples, as the two pipes used different convertors. What you really want to look at is the "off-road" (non-cat) X & H pipe dyno test, which clearly show the X's better numbers.:nice:

    Roush Saleen Extreme

    Another former classic Mustang owner makes the jump. Congrats on the purchase! It ought to be a runner, and probably a lot more docile than the 66 was.:nice:

    Hiding engine bay wires on a 65??

    It's actually a pretty easy deal to hide the majority of the underhood wiring... For the driver's side, drill a new hole under the hood hinge and pass the wires to the fenderwell there. Bring them back in by the radiator support thru the headlight harness hole. I did not lengthen any wires...

    Engine Compartment

    For all the small unused holes, I just got a selection of plastic plugs & caps from the local Ace Hardware store. It's cheap, hidden, and easily reversible.

    Scam - Everybody just needs to report these to Ebay as they appear... :Damnit: 1) Price WAY too low - Anybody who REALLY believes they can get an 05 for $12k is just asking to be ripped off. 2) Private auction - "User ID kept private" 3) Email before bidding - "DO NOT BID WITHOUT HAVING...

    Roush The unofficial WHITE Saleen thread!

    Saweeeeet Cobra Billy! I really thought about waiting to find a 99-up Saleen Cobra when I bought this car, but I have no patience! :Word: Yours is exactly what I would have wanted.:nice:

    Side Exhaust

    Shelby underrides were no problem. I used them with mine. For SFC's, you have several options: the best is thru-the-floor SFC's - strongest & no clearance issues (also hardest to do). You can also run a setup like MDJay pictured, or Spintech sells both oval tubing & "clearance tubes", which...

    Getting the most out of Drum Brakes

    You might look at this stuff: http://www.praisedynobrake.com But it all costs money, just like the disc conversion.

    Side Exhaust

    You might look to Spintech for oval tips, as well as Roush - they have an angled rectangular design used on latemodel Mustangs. The front in/out mufflers are made by most major companies. I think the late model Corvette uses this type, as well as most of the late-model Mustang side-exit...
