    Need help choosing cam?

    This info is from Anderson's web-site: N-412 Camshaft works with stock OEM pistons with 1.6 roller rockers. RPM range 2300-6200. 302 c.i.d. This cam is to be used with 1.6 R.R. Great with GT-40, TFS or Edelbrock heads. Minimum 24lb injectors and 75mm mass air. Recommend 3.55 to 4.10...

    Need help choosing cam?

    That's good info! I think I'll do what you suggested and call AFM and comp and see what they recommend and then I'll post that too and we can toss the different ideas around. What does single pattern mean? I'm thinking some of those cams that are designed for EFI/Mass Air wouldn't be optimal for...

    Need help choosing cam?

    I am building a carbureted 302 for my 66' mustang. I found a really good deal on a set of GT-40P heads that have been rebuilt, have aftermarket valve springs, some light porting work in the bowls, and a set of roller rockers (1.7 I believe). I am using a "freshened up" stock 5.0 short block...

    GT40P Heads

    I would be interested in these heads. If they are not Explorer heads, where did you get them? You can PM me if you would like. THanks, Sean

    Steering Wheel Help...

    Silicone!! Good call, I hadn't thought of that. I agree they are a piece! Better than the 44 year old cracked one it replace though!

    Grant Wheel install

    I have one of these too, and the horn button tends to fall off occasionally. It's a piece! I would be interested in seeing the bracket someone made to fix this. Right now I have some electrival tape wrapped around the edge of the horn contact to make the disc a little thicker so the horn button...

    patriot clipster headers

    They look great to me. I think you could get away spending a little less, but that appears to be a very high quality header for the price. Just my 0.02 cents

    What size rear wheels?

    i am going to try to take one of my back wheels off today and measure the backspace the best I can to get an idea of what is on there now. They are aftermarket wheels but look nice and fit correctly. I just need 5 lug now!

    What size rear wheels?

    most of the wheels I am finding are 14x6 with 3.5 inch backspacing though. WOuld that work???

    What size rear wheels?

    I am swapping in an 8" rear and need to pick up some new 5 lug wheels. I want to reuse my 215 14" tires so I am just going to pick up 2 of the cheap modular steel wheels for now. I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5 but I need to know what backspacing to get? Also I am assuming that with...

    66 Power Steering

    Well, I will drive it to work probably at least a few times per month. I will use it to run to the local grocery store and to "cruise" on the weekend, and I will probably run it at the local drag strip on "test and tune" nights at least a couple of times per year. I'm not going to cut it up or...

    66 Power Steering

    "The six cylinder disc brakes have nothing in common with the V8 disc brakes, so you'll be buying the disc kit twice, or driving around with 5-bolt front wheels and 4-bolt rear wheels" Lol, that is exactly what I am going to do for awhile. I plan on doing the Granada front disc brake...

    66 Power Steering

    Yea, I have been reading up on the aspect of "hot rodding" that 6 cylinder. I bought the book entitled "Falcon Performance" and it had a lot of interesting tips in it. What I have noticed though, is to build a nice 200 I6 would cost about the same or slightly more than building a "budget" 302...

    66 Power Steering

    I will ask the previos owner what he did to eliminate the power steering. He seemed very "handy". He had completely rebuilt the entire front end with upper & lower control arms, tie rods, etc., etc. Why do you think it best not to convert the car to a V8? Just curious what the disadvantage would be?

    66 Power Steering

    Based on my research, I am going to upgrade the steering link, tie rods, pitman arm, and idler arm in preparation of the V8 swap.. My concern though, is that if you have a car set up to run with power steering and you "disconnect" it. Is it all of the sudden a manual steering car, or should...

    66 Power Steering

    Hello all, I just bought a "new" 66 I6 mustang that seems to be in great shape. One question I have though, is that this car was originally a powersteering car but the original owner did not like the way the system functioned so he removed it. Are there any specific parts to properly eliminate...

    96-98 Cobra v/s 03-04 Mach 1

    That's pretty interesting! That is also very inticing to buy/build one of those:rolleyes: I had a 94 GT with the 5.0 and I was pretty pleased with it's performance. I also had a 2004 GT Convertible that I did a lot of mods to but it never really impressed me that much 1/4 mile wise. Both of...

    96-98 Cobra v/s 03-04 Mach 1

    I think the 325 is a more accurate estimate of flywheel horsepower for the MACH based on what they dyno stock at the rear wheels. Assuming the basic bolt-ons, which in my mind would be full exhaust, gears, air filter, underdrive pulley, and some suspension/sticky tire work what would a 96-98...

    shorties worth it?

    I put shorties on my car, and it did basically nothing. Dyno numbers proved that too. I researched it a lot, but already had my x-pipe and went against the recommendations of most. Waste of money, especially when you consider what it cost to put them on. When the factory designs the exhaust...

    96-98 Cobra v/s 03-04 Mach 1

    I appreciate all the info. Based on some of the stock dyno numbers on the manual Mach's, it does appear that they are more likely in the 325hp range. That makes sense, and in conjuction with better flowing heads, higher compression ratio, 3:55 rear axle, that certainly would account for the edge...
