    Some Life Advice about career paths (Longish)

    Go with what you love, Other jobs may pay better but you will never be happy doing something you hate. I would try designing something for a classic mustang that everyone just couldnt live without. The Interior would be a great place to start. I wish you the best of luck!

    '66 mustang in the garage!

    Even if its a low power 302 you will want to upgrade to the v-8 suspension and better brakes should be the priority.

    Super Rare factory 65 FB racecar. Shelby, take a back seat.

    WOW, A factory experimental. The Gas Rhonda Mustang that they have listed as presumed wreck and MIA. I seen back in the late 70's going for 850.00 in south Phoenix. I later seen it at a car show with a 460 in it so it's still around. Easy to spot the real ones - they had the steering box on the...

    oil pump drive shaft question

    You are correct in your thinking, the distributor connects to the oil pump thru a shaft that slips in one end of the distributor and the other end into the oil pump.

    Installing a new Clutch. What should be

    I question the use of costly ARP bolts also. If they are strengthen and hardened using them on 40 year old threads is inviting trouble. The diffrence in strength, plus the fact that you would not be able to go with the "new" torque makes it pointless anyway. The head bolts would be the only...

    Need help honing my engine

    If he does not remove it, he will not be able to get the piston out the top because it will hit on this lip.

    Need help honing my engine

    The piston does not reach this area, so taper has nothing to do with it. Here's a quick guide for him http://www.goodheartwillcdownloads/samplechapters/AutoEnc11.pdf#search='ridge%20reaming%20piston'ox.com/ That will guide from engine removal to reassembly

    Need help honing my engine

    He will be okay. On a high mileage engine there is a ridge at the top of the cylinder that you can catch with your fingernail. Since the piston does not travel that high , you simply remove it with a ridge rimmer. I did mean to ask if he stamped the internals for each cylinder.

    Need help honing my engine

    Been along time since I rebuilt a engine. Some of the younger guy's might be able to help you there. I use to swear by Federal-Mogul on the bearings, Perfect circle rings, and Fel-Pro was our brand of gaskets back then.

    Need help honing my engine
