    Stock Discs vs. Baer

    FINALLY...I posted a controversial thread!!! :D Thanks to everyone here as always. So, looks like a dual master cylinder and SS lines and I'll be set. The stock breaks are fine, even with the fruit jar I can easily lock the front tires up on 15" Goodyear Nascar Eagles. But, like I said...

    Stock Discs vs. Baer

    My 65 FB has factory disc's. Here are my 2 plans for brakes. 1. Upgrade the master cylinder to a dual bowl and run SS lines front and back. or 2. Get a Baer front disc set up. In both cases I'm keeping rear drums. The question? Are the stock discs terribly inferrior to the...

    HiPo Balancer?

    The ATI is designed for TDC to be on the drivers side. Mine is on the pass. side. We tried just mounting it 180 on the crank and remarking the timing marks on the opposite side. No luck. I don't think the weights lined up correctly or something because the front of the engine was shaking...

    HiPo Balancer?

    The ATI Balancer I bought didn't work out, so...if I wanted to use a HiPo balancer on my 65 FB would there be any mods from going from stock, or is a direct bolt on?

    Boyd's show

    I never really thought about it until reading this, but you guys are right...not very much talent required to do what there doing. Not hard to drop in crate motors, take seats to the upolstery shop, etc, etc. Now OVERHAULIN, that's a build!!!

    Professional Products harmonic balancer clearance...

    1mm is REAL tight, but there shouldn't be any lateral movement in your crank, so in theory you should be fine. I'd dial indicate it to check for ANY runout just to be on the safe side. No need to ruin a perfectly good balancer/engine.

    Professional Products harmonic balancer clearance...

    ATI makes a water pump specifically for this problem. Your right about the early timing cover, C4OE, compared to the C5OE. The water pumps are not interchangeable, but the water pump for a C5OE wiill work all the way through 68. The early timing cover, C4OE, saw a very small production run...

    Differential Choices

    Can anyone reccommed a good differential. When I save up the $, this is my next upgrade to complement my engine combo. I've looked at Detroit E-Z Locker, Auburn Pro Series, etc.. They all seem to be good units, difference is the price and some slight engineering. So, what is the best bang...

    Freakin' MONEY Pit!!!

    Those parts are all from Summit and Jegs. If you know of a cheaper place for name brand parts, I'm all ears. Belive me, I'm not thrilled about it, but it will definatly be nice when finished I guess. And I didn't get the best of the best either, just very good, ie Comps magnum series as...

    Freakin' MONEY Pit!!!

    1320, I have an 8". What is a good way to go as far as the set ups you mentioned? I've heard the Detroit can be noisy, and over kill for a street car? I'm not very familiar with rear ends. I just know what they do, not how there built. 69, I'm running stock distrib. with a Petronix...

    Freakin' MONEY Pit!!!

    Thanks for the replys guys. I know that this happens when you get into these kind of projects. I don't care how much homework you do, something ALWAYS comes up. I think it was the dampner that put me over the edge. $400! 50 here a 100 there sometimes isn't so bad, but $400 is a lot when...

    Freakin' MONEY Pit!!!

    I need to vent to those that can relate...My fellow Stangnetters. Here's the deal. I took my 65 FB in last week to get the AFR's and a cam installed as well as a TCP rack & pinion. No biggie right, wrong! I had most of the parts they would need, so I thought I had spent all I needed for...

    Updates on Rack & Pinion kits???

    My 65 FB is in right now getting a TCP rack & pinion installed...well sorta. The story is like this. I ordered the TCP power R&P on Sept. 1st. I was told it would be between 2-4 weeks to get it. I ordered the kit with the KRC pump, so I dropped about $2,800 on this set up. You think you'd...

    Mustangs at the Queen Mary

    It was a pretty cool venue. Seeing the Overhaulin "Ruststang" was cool. And wouldn't you know that episode was on TLC last night. Amazing the job they do in only 7 days. It was cool to meet a couple of you there as well. GNN and MD JAY are both a couple of stand up guys. GNN I'm still...

    Timing Cover - HELP!!!

    Really don't want to weld it. Here's what I found though. Ford Racing has one that works as long as you use a 66 or later water pump. So I've deceided to get the FMS timing cover with a Flow Kooler water pump. Biggity Bam, probem solved. Talk about doing some reasearch!!! 347, I'm...

    Go to E bay, probably the easiest way if you want pics. Just type in each year.

    Timing Cover - HELP!!!

    Ronstang, Correct you are. This has been a pain in the A$$ to find. The place I oredered from swears the repro they have is for the early style w/ alum. water pump. We'll see. The covers that are used with the cast iron pumps are a dime a dozen. The aluminum one's are like trying to...
