    Just got back from Dallas Mustang Dyno pull

    I totally agree with you. Everything I've ever read says horsepower is calculated from torque. However, I do think what 180out is saying about torque vs. horsepower makes intuitive sense; I can't recall ever seeing a high performance gas burner make peak horsepower at RPM's equal or lesser...

    has anyone had experince with master power brakes?

    Mustang Steve Cobra disk brake conversion. Enough said!!!! Don't throw your money at old technology unless you're determined to keep 14 through 16" wheels. If you want serious, legitimate braking at a good price, then there's no comparison, IMHO, to Mustang Steve's kit for late model Cobra...

    How to use Jeg's overflow tank?

    You said you saw green and brown puddles of coolant. If so, at minimum you need to flush your radiator, but a new radiator may be in order. Insofar as whether a recirculating system or a catch can is better, I think that's a no-brainer (no offense meant). Recirculating your coolant is...

    289 Heads on 302?

    The first year of a 302 in a Mustang was 1968, and that was its highest output year (230 horsepower according to Chilton). The obvious first question would be is, are you sure your car has a 302? If you have a 302, then, from what I've been able to ascertain, the reason the horsepower and...

    Same ole more power thread

    Your best power gains are going to be made from quality aluminum heads and a corresponding cam that works with the better airflow, absent the addition of a power-adder. Besides the obvious advantages of good quality, aftermarket aluminum heads, there is also a substantial weight savings, which...

    Same ole more power thread

    Not trying to be a d*** here, but you're actually talking about going to lower gears, not higher. I qualify my statement because I'm certain you know better and it was a mistake. I only make the point so it doesn't cause confusion to anyone who doesn't know the difference.

    Latest gas prices

    Uh, the last time I checked, you could only serve two terms as President under the Constitution of the United States. So, I don't think you'll get a chance to vote Bush out.

    Price check with pics :-)

    I'm going to have to differ with the overwhelming consensus here, even though I agree its not worth 3K with no engine/trans. The car is certainly worth over $800, as its a fastback and, according to your description, it has way more than $800 in parts if you wanted to part it out or use some of...

    How often do you restore? Tried taking my car in for quarters

    If you are ABSOLUTELY SURE all the rust is gone and you don't care about original looking floorpans, then just have the patch panels welded in and the rivets removed. Notice my emphasis above, however. If you're not 100% certain the rust is 100% gone, then bite the bullet and replace the pans...

    Grant wood wheel install?

    I have seen very, very, very few (do you get the idea?)Grant steering wheels with a functioning horn. My signature series Grant functioned initially, but only for a few months. I'm with 4musclemachines. I just need to buy a higher quality steering wheel than Grant is apparently capable of...

    I would like to put a chin spoiler on a 68

    I know for sure Mustangs Plus has them, but I feel quite certain that Mustang Depot and many of the other vendors have them. Jay, the owner of Mustang Depot, is a regular on this forum. Give his company a call or go to mustangdepot.com. I wish you luck in keeping one of those damn things on...

    suspensions / fairlanes

    If you don't mind me asking, what is your aversion to subframe connectors? More than likely, you'd never even know they were there from outward appearances, but subframe connectors offer more bang for the buck than almost any other mod I can think of. If you don't have a fairly rigid platform...

    YOU decide how I restore my car!

    If you don't want to lose money, I'd have to say none of the above. More than likely, you're not going to break even if you do it right.

    one piece front windows?

    They sniff the tailpipes here too but its free. They also check the glass; you will fail with anything more than minor chips in the windshield. They even make you demonstrate that your emergency brake if functioning by having you apply it and attempt to drive forward in gear. Its pretty intense.

    one piece front windows?

    Yeah, the inspection requirement only applies if you live in the City of Memphis. If you live in the county, no inspection is required.

    Do I Need To Install A Negative Wedge Kit?

    Sorry, rereading this thread made me realize that I wasn't commenting on the shelby drop but was commenting on the negative wedge system. It was late, and I think I had a few too many. :cheers: These guys are on the money as to your need for a negative wedge setup. :D

    one piece front windows?

    This conversion has been done numerous times on street rods that I have seen, but I suspect all are right who have said you would need custom glass. The biggest problem I have with vent windows is the inevitable wind noise you get with them. In addition, I would be interested in doing this...

    one piece front windows?

    Does anyone know of a company that makes one-piece front windows for a '65-'66 that do away with the vent windows? I've seen this done on numerous street rods as well as on some '67 Camaros, and I think it would really clean up the side profile of the car, particularly with the drip rails...
