    Dano.... Dano who?

    Rather than hi-jack cobraii351's thread figured I'd better start my own. :) Yeah sorry I haven't been around much. Seems as if the older you get the less time you have even when you think you do! Still wrenching, just not as much as I should on my own stuff...lol. My boy's PeeWee ball season...

    t5 issues

    Also wanted to add- Check the torque on the pinion nut on your 3rd member (rear axle pinion @ the yoke) I've been finding 9" fords fromt he late 60s and 70s have been working the nuts loose causing the pinion yoke to slide forward and become loose causing occasional vibrations and quick...

    t5 issues

    You don't need to do anything fancy. You don't even have to remove the driveline and car should be on the ground or positioned as such. Just put a magnetic degree (finder)scale (easily found at home depot) on the yoke in the tranny with the yoke's u-joint ear 'down' and then place another scale...

    AOD installed!

    Excellent job! :nice: Beat me to the punch. My base headers were Headmans aswell. Unaffortunately the project got abandoned many years ago before I got the headers all ironed out. Nice work. :nice:

    Weight of the mustang II

    The scaleweight on my '78s title says 2975 lbs. Not sure how accurate that is but should be close. No rear seats, racing buckets in the front, 289/C4 auto... everything else stock. I've seen fiberglass hatches for fastbacks (add lexan window and you're in good!), glass door skins, front...

    Driveshaft

    Could have sworn that the C4 driveshaft was 1.5" shorter than the RAD 4 speed driveshaft. See if I can find one in the pile to measure.

    radial and bias ply

    Agreed. Unless you have a purpose for running the mix-matched set, try not to. Running Radials in the front and Bias Plys in the rear is not as bad as doing the opposite- i.e. bias plys on the steer axle with radials pushing it, will seem like the front end is on ice. Radials conform to the...

    tires

    Best to choose a set of wheels or at least choose a certain rim diameter before talking tires. Depending on the rim's backspacing available will depend on how much tire you can stuff in there.

    Flywheels and flexplates

    Yep that's right, 148 Tooth for a II V8 Flywheel. Yeah I dunno what to say about the clutch situation. If you had cores, you could probably send the pressure plate and disc out to be rebuilt. RAM clutches use to carry a clutch kit for the V8 IIs, but not sure now... :(

    77 cobra headers with c6.HELP

    Yes it bolts between the engine/trans and typically used in conjunction with a motor plate mounted on the front of the engine. The mid-plate is usually welded to the subframe (frame rails). Seems like a smart idea as long as you can get that C6 into the trans tunnel. I assume you are reffering...

    Picture of the under car!

    This should shed light on the subject- Gas tank comparison

    lets talk suspension

    Find a local warehouse that deals with big rigs, or asphalt or gravel business, or even a highway weigh station and run just the front tires onto the scale to get your nose weight. Do it all the time in the Peterbuilt when hauling asphalt/gravel. We're only allowed so much weight on the front...

    Help.need headers for 302-C6 in 77

    Yeah you're running the wrong mounts. Not surprised as it will be next to impossible to find a new set of originals. There was an individual selling a rebuild kit for the originals (as wellas already rebuilt ones or will rebuild your cores) over on the .net site. Not sure if you mean that the...

    Help.need headers for 302-C6 in 77

    Not sure what 'numbers' you're looking for. I've seen C4s built to handle 1000+ horsepower. The C4 tranny is definately an impressive unit now that the aftermarket has corrected all of its weak links. No doubt the C6 is an awesome tranny but with the weight savings and compact size of the C4...

    So, who's working on what these days?

    Right on :nice: looks like you've got a really nice clean car to start with. I know i sure had a different appreciation for my car than other kids did when i was that young. You realize how much blood/sweat/tears go into something like that and you treat it as such. not to mention the...

    lets talk suspension

    No, I believe they went out of business a few years ago. However I believe that Stumpy's Fabworks still offers them. They are pretty much knock-offs of the SSM bars. Here's a link to his site- Stumpy's Fabrication Works : Home If you search E-Bay I believe he still sells them and the MII...

    So, who's working on what these days?

    Don't feel like the lone ranger. I think it's been at least 5 years since I.ve done anything to my II let alone drive the thing. Been outta the loop, what's this facebook thing you guys are talking about?

    Help.need headers for 302-C6 in 77

    I highly doubt these headers will fit. They list them to fit the early mustang, Falcon, Maverick, etc... and the typical heders that fit these cars, definately will NOT fit a Mustang II. The Ii is extremely tight in the engine bay, and I don't think they really realize the differences between a...
