    Assistance Needed - '66 Fastback A-Code

    Looks good but if you have never driven a classic anything you should not even consider one as a daily driver. If your worried about resale, get a 5 yr old corrola. If your going to beat something into the ground get a hard top and have at it. That way you can hack it up like most beginners in...

    Headlight switch/fuse panel

    adding a relay for low beam and one for high beam keeps all that voltage off of the switch and sends it directly to the bulbs. there are kits or it can be done on the cheap with wirecutters. this is the mod that should be right up there with getting rid of that jelly jar master cylinder on early...

    Putting Together Fuel system

    russell pieces a nice kit together, tank to carb, check it out at summit. says it supports 864-1008hp, uses 6an and says connect it to the stock tank fuel line. hopefully the edlebrock pump will be quieter than the holley. if youve got some things already you can add the missing pieces or cheap...

    will 79-93 water pump work on my 289

    is there a difference in depth of the shaft on the pumps? i see the 289 timing covers have a profile that accepts the impeller on the pump (no backing plate) and the later ones have a backup plate on the waterpump and the impeller is set outside the timing cover.

    Backyard find

    looks like you hav an idea on the budget thing with that list you posted. my advice would be get the thing running on as little cash as possible b4 throwing money at "wanted" mods. that way you can enjoy puttin around in a classic and have a weekend project here and there, maybe find some used...

    Intake Finish - Natural or Blasted?

    they all get dirty after a while. wheel etching acid cleans them up pretty well but ends up looking white like the blasted one. i am going with the blasted look since my torker is 30 yrs old. there are nice powdercoat finishes available that would also work well.

    insurance appraisal.

    my agreed value plan wanted pics of the 4 sides, engine & int and a proffesional appraisal. better to go a bit higher than what you think its worth, its only a few bucks/yr more. be careful to read the restrictions on your policy and state registration, i run regular plates so there are no...

    who makes the best crate engines?

    I went with frrp 347 short block, same one used in the Z 450hp complete engine assy. The guy I spoke with @ ford said they were no longer going to produce short blocks, so if you want one you need to find one in stock somewhere.

    400hp plus rad size in early stang?

    thanks for the replys. I was running a stock wp (bosh) with the pass inlet and that matches the rad. The cooling system on the 289 was in great condition. There is an edlebrock driver inlet on my shelf, to use it the rad would have to be swapped. pony up for a new rad and use the eddie...

    400hp plus rad size in early stang?

    There are quite a few running 351's & 347's with plenty of hp. What rads are you running and does it always mean cutting up the rad support??? 347/vic jrs/aod combo going in this spring. Right now I have an aluminum downflow drop in 16.5 x 16.5 x 2.5 (surface area) rad with a 16in spal...
