    I've decided to put a 331 in my car and have a question.

    Couldn't you do a partial fill on a stock block to strengthen it?

    Seats for 66 Coupe

    I have the option of getting some Mach 1 seats for my 66 Mustang. Are they a good choice and are they comfortable or should I consider some other option? Thanks in advance for any responses.

    Went to the strip today...Good & Bad news

    If you're going to the drag strip, get a suitable driveshaft. If you're just going to cruise around town for a while, a stock driveshaft should be fine. For drag racing, esp. when using sticky tires, I like to use a well made steel driveshaft with a safety loop. Denny's driveshafts is one of...

    66 Coupe 302 vs 351W

    I'm having my 66 Coupe, 289, 4v, auto, pony interior car restored. I'm considering my options for an engine. A stroker 302 (347) or a stroker 351W. What are the pros-cons of going with the 351W? If I did the 351W stroker, I'd probably keep it under 400ci, around 383ci, or so. Mostly, I'm...
