    Rear End help

    I did a Fox swap into my '66 (information for the swap on the webpage in my signature). It's perfect if you want to run SN95 wheels (basically 5.72" back spacing). As Rusty said, it's an inch wider than stock. So the other option is to narrow it 1" each side, and run stock backspacing...

    Is this a good radiator?

    Griffin makes great radiators. Here it is at Summit for a little less money. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=GRI%2D7%2D265BC%2DCAX&N=700+0&autoview=sku If you have a little more budget, and want to stay stock physical size here is a better cooling capacity...

    Softer than 620's w/ 1" drop?

    Maier Racing has a 500 lbs rated spring (PN MS2300). I have not personally run these, so I can't comment on longevity.

    What do you guys think of my engine bay?

    It doesn't make your butt look big... Honest! Looks like you've put a lot of work into your car. I'm digging the Fox center console. You've done a nice job on it. Any thoughts to installing the Fox hand brake? Works awesome with rear discs.

    Overheating Question = Answer?

    Actually you're incorrect 70 bottle fed. The temperature differential between the cylinder bores, heads and coolant passages is far greater than the air-tube-water correlation. Heat saturation is dependant on pressure, and absorbtion slows as it reaches that peak. I've spent a lot of time...

    Help with coil springs!!! PLEASE!!

    If your alignment is off (especially if toe'd in) the front end will not settle. So, If you put the stock springs back in, and it's too high, go get an alignment. As for the after market springs, you need to let them settle for about a month, then cut to your desired ride height. BTW: this...

    Overheating Question = Answer?

    He may or may not be correct, in your specific application. But the theory is definitely correct. It takes time to get heat out of the coolant. If it passes through the core too quickly, it can't transfer enough heat. An easy way to tell is to compare the tank temperature top versus bottom...

    finished control arms

    Very nice work! Are you going to modify your perches to run roller bearings? Makes a noticable difference in ride quality.

    Help: Anyone with Cobra brakes

    For the conversion on my '66 I went down to Napa, and toured the bins, until I found the right ones. Took about 5 minutes and a couple of bucks. The brakes work awesome. I converted all four corners. Running 235/45 R17s and no rubber bushings up front. The rear has Aluminum bushings in...

    66 I6 Tranny options

    There's a write up on the web page of my signature for dropping a T5 into the '66 w/I-6. It was an easy swap. Easiest with a T5 from a V8, due to the input shaft. I like the 2.95 first gear ratio, but for a new driver, you may want the 3.35. Good luck,

    To Roll or Not to Roll That is the Question

    The up side is more clearance (between 1/4" and 3/8"). The down side is, it's a great place to get dirt and mud caught up in. I'd suggest rolling like a "U" shape, and then using a POR or undercoat in the "U". The other down side is on rolling the rear fenders. It's double wall and spot...

    Need to add air conditioning.

    Thanks for the favorable comments on the write up and install. This was done on a 6 cylinder car. I am planning a few more changes when the V8 goes in. 1). Use the ford drain hose and go through the tunnel instead of the firewall. 2). turn all hoses 90* towards the drivers side, and...

    6 cylinder vacum advance?

    Some possibilities: Vacuum Line disconnected or pinched. Arm disconnected inside distributor, or jammed. Advance plate stuck due to module installed incorrectly. Vacuum diaphram leaking. Throttle plate set above port vacuum.

    2.3 efi 5 spd into classic 65-69

    How quickly we forget the first SVO Mustang Turbo 2.3L. While it lacked the instant torque of a V8 it handled awesome, and was very close in overall output. At more than 20 years old now, it is a classic, and a car before it's time.
