    AOD ?

    Drove the stang to the house today. Was a little nervous as the AOD was only set by setting it up at WOT did not have a pressure gauge to check it. It shifted good and pulled really strong. The drive was only about a mile. I plan to take it to a trans shop to have it adjusted but wondered if...

    It's alive!!!

    After what seems like forever (at least 3 years) My 67 is running again. I know a lot of you have done your own builds and such. This was my first full engine build as well as swapping in the AOD and I can't tell you how good I feel. I have worried night and day about if I may have forgotten...

    Post yalls 289/ 302 setups!!

    I would like to build a high compression 289/302 with solid lifters ported polished everything matched. It would have to run on race fuel these days but it would be interesting to see just how much one could get out of an all motor Real small block with some of the old tech and the new tech mixed.

    Post yalls 289/ 302 setups!!

    D, I will probably end up going that way not to hard to install even with motor in. I will see how this does and go from there cam swap is pretty cheap considering what other things cost. The machine shop said compression ratio is about 10.5. I took this motor apart due to broken push...

    How much to ask for 69 mach 1

    Get the vin if it is a true 428 car the price is considerably more. I would like to have it either way but restoring the 67 coupe leaves me with very little cash to spend on projects. It's worth what people are willing to pay. That said I think 2 to 5 K would be fair unless the rust is worse...

    Have old Tamiya R/C cars from the 80s?

    Yeah 36,000 to 40,000 rpms passes are wicked sounding. My buggy is a very loud .28 motor. The truck sounds like a weed eater though. I have to fix the rear diff in the buggy already lol. the truck still going strong. 88gt the Mustang1 boys may be meeting up in April at the track so if...

    Need some more tech info.

    So I was right in thinking we needed to run at a higher RPM. Thats the plan. Now What about the trans? Is it agreed as long as it is in park and i did put 2 quarts in the TC and plan to fill up the pan with as much as it will hold. speaking of how many quarts should a 89 AOD hold with a...

    Infiniti wants to race me...what do you think?

    Do it for seat time at the track you may just surprise yourself and him. Make sure the car is running at it's best and let him have it. Have Fun as long as the teacher is not one of those guys who will rub it in your face forever.

    What would this combo make?

    68 it is a street and I do agree with you. I am just getting the HP bug and think I need to build a good 302 drag motor and buy a cheap 4 banger fox car and go have some fun. lol The 67 will be to nice to beat on anyway I have spent way to much on pretty stuff. I still may upgrade to the AFR...

    What would this combo make?

    Good I did get the 600 holley vacuum carb. I know these heads are iron heads but they are not stock. They are the hipo heads with a lot of porting ( I would say as much as you can port without getting them to hot) and larger 195 160 valves.(which is the same size the AFR 165 run...

    Need some more tech info.

    Thanks Punisher and yes I was under the impression for cam break in that was the proper method 20 min of 2000 rpm? Although I did a former motor and don't remember doing it this way. I did not even follow a proper method was only 19 and did not no anything lol. That motor was fine even had a...

    Need some more tech info.

    Well the 67 is getting really close to fire up and break in. My buddy brought something to my attention that had not really crossed my mind. The new motor has to be broke in at around 2000 2500 rpm. The AOD only had about 1200 miles on it when I got it and has been drained and re filled with...

    To tint or not to tint

    What are some of you guys thoughts on window tinting on the classics. It almost seems taboo to me. That said the hot OK sun is bad on the interior. I was thinking about tinting the 67
