    1965 mustang with a 289...where does the negative battery cable go?

    I had mine just bolted to the block but would have trouble with it starting after it would sit for about a month, so I had run another braided cable from the back of the passanger head to the firewall and haven't had a problem since.

    Wheel hop

    The flywheel is used but the clutch is new. Should I have them both replaced or have the clutch resurfaced?

    Wheel hop

    When I take off from a stop light it vibrates badly till I either let the clutch out all the way or push it back in. I had a friend drive my car and it looks like the rear leaf spring on the passenger side shakes when they started moving. I will check out the motor mounts when I get back home.

    02 5.4 Lightning in 65 Fastback?

    I knew that the 5.4 was big but I was hoping to get away with just trimming on the towers. I was going to run EFI because the motor came with everthing from intercooler to the fuel pump, but I don't really want to do Major Surgery because the car is very solid. Maybe I will just set it aside...

    02 5.4 Lightning in 65 Fastback?

    I have come across a 02 5.4 cheap. I know it will not fit with the stock shock towers, but can I just trim them or will I have to install something like a mustangII to make it work? Also will it bolt up to my T5 or is there some kind of adapter plate? :shrug:Sorry if this is question has already...

    practice flames

    yes it is a type of clear cloat. It dries faster than regular clear and doesn't need to be scuffed before painting over.

    practice flames

    I know that if you mix the pearls with intercoat clear you will only be able to see them if the sun hits it just right. A lesson that I was taught was to use intercoat after you get done with each stage so if you mess up you can always go back and sand it off instead of trying to cover it up.

    practice flames

    I do a little painting also (mostly custom helmets) and think they both look great, but if you want my 2 cents. The bottom one is the best. I like how it starts out real tight and moves farther apart. The top ones lines are a little hard to look like real flames. If you want to move the stencile...

    Good suspension shop in Texas?

    I am sure that this question has been asked before but I just spent the past 2 hours searching and found nothing. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you Texas guys might know of a good shop that can rebuild my suspension and install a set of discbrakes on the front. I live in Corpus but would...

    Up front it just has the stock worn out springs and old bushings. It rubs a little when I turn into my driveway to fast, but I think alittle fender rolling and rebuild will make it go away. What I want to do is the shelby drop, not sure what coils yet, and get a good set of adjustable shocks...
