    Buying my first Fox

    Sounds like it is a go but it won't be in the driveway until January. I've got the 5-speed in my 66. The AOD is preferred for the commuter. Thanks again... just need to sell the Explorer now.

    Buying my first Fox

    My neighbor is selling a '89 LX Hatchback for $2,500 with 65k miles. I'm wondering if it is a good price? 5.0, Mac Headers, Spintecs, BBK throttle body, K&N, Hyperchip, AOD, PS, PW, sunroof, new brakes, new tires, A/C Lines, new injectors, etc. etc. Body is perfect. Interior shows it's age...

    Thanks 2bav

    I've been reading the posts and getting tired of it all. I could care less if you stay or go. But if your going to go, just sack up and leave. All this bitch-slapping should be posted in the talk section anyway. Last I checked this forum is for Tech.

    T-5 IRS from 64

    I didn't read the link, but yes... Ford did develop an IRS in the early 60s for the Mustang. There was a recent documentary on the History Channel surrounding Ford history and Lee Iacocca. They had a brief segment on the IRS.

    Composite Mono leaf springs

    I sent a request for quote to Flex-a-Form. George returned a quote for $400 delivered. Considering Mustang Plus sells their sets for ~$200 (depending on style) plus some serious shipping charges, the price of the mono-leaf doesn't seem half bad considering the huge weight savings.

    Big Block vs. Small Block

    Way more than I can afford. Your point is well taken. I've heard that car has over $100k into it. It definitely takes serious $$$ to play at the top of the vintage racing circuit. However, it doesn't take nearly as much money to have just as much fun.

    Calculate compression

    Here is a compression ratio calculator I created in Excel. Enjoy.

    Big Block vs. Small Block

    Big-block - high weight straight line. Small-block - high revving twisties. What you choose is what you like. If I were at the 1/4 all the time, It would be big block for sure. I personally like Autocross and Open Track so I'm building an aluminum head roller block. My inspiration...

    Looking for a fuel cell and jmc dual master cylinder

    Also check out Delta Bay Mustang for the fuel cell. They have custom drop in tanks as well as pans and frames that use off-the-shelf fuel cells. Their prices were the lowest I found about a year ago.

    Roller rocker madness....

    The Ford bible states 3/4 turn after 0 lash. Make sure you are adjusting in the correct sequence to your camshaft. If you have a flat tappet, it is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 if it is a roller or 351W cam, it is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. Also, you should not let the poly lock rotate when tightening the set...

    What electric fans are you running

    I'm doing the same thing. I picked mine up at a half price sale for $10. This was also the day I found $200 under the sheepskin covers of an 87 Supra. I got the seats, serpentine setup off a Lincoln, and the fan off of a Sable and pocketed $140! LOL

    2005 wheel availability

    This is your best bet. Usually can get a set with tires with little or no wear for the price of new aftermarket rims alone.

    NHRA & Trunk Mounted Battery

    Are Optima batteries of this type? If that is the case, the additional cost of the Optima would be a wash with what I would save by not enclosing my perfectly capable lead-acid battery. Thanks for the info... waiting for a few more to chime in

    NHRA & Trunk Mounted Battery

    I have a '66 coupe and want to run the battery in the trunk. I know NHRA requires an external battery disconnect switch. However, does the battery have to be completely enclosed or can I use a lightweight mounting bracket that is welded to the trunk floor? I'd prefer the latter since they are...

    Coast High, Roush, or Ford Cobra Engine??

    I 2nd FPS. I had all my machine work done on my 5.0 there. They are top notch and I've seen a couple of 427s on the floor in their shop. Give Troy a call at (714) 773-9027. They are located in Anaheim, CA.
