    New to manual drum brakes

    O wow, I never knew that. Is this partly dew to bump steering, or can it be caused by just having the fruit jar?

    302 Build Ideas

    Bingo; you hit the nail on the head. Inertia is a moment; quantity and position. Position has a much greater effect (distance is squared) on the total inertia of an object then mass does.

    new toy. (tool related)

    This is purely a guess (somewhat educated), but I would think that using C02 could increase the carbon content of the steel, making it more brittle. However, if that is the case, it then becomes a question of whether or not an increase in brittleness (which who knows by how much) would make a...

    Rear View Mirror Adhesive

    The only adhesive I see from them is to mount the mirror bracket to the windshield itself. I need something that is ok to use on the reflective aluminum surface, will bond to plastic, and will stay flexible for the day/night adjustment.

    New to manual drum brakes

    If you have never driven a car with manual drums before, I suggest taking it slow at first to get adjusted to them; when 2+2GT says hard, he's not joking.

    Rear View Mirror Adhesive

    I'm fixing the rear view mirror, and I need an adhesive that will bond the mirror itself to the bracket. I checked local hardware stores, but all of the mirror adhesives that they had don't specifically list plastic as a surface that the adhesive will bond to. Any suggestions?

    What engine do I have?

    I don't have the book I need at hand at the moment, but if my memory servers me the D0VE means that you have heads from a 1970 Lincoln engine. I'm not 100% sure what the A2A means, but I believe that it means that they are from a 460.

    Tremec questions

    I am pretty sure that it will not bolt up to a 5.0 block. I also think that the input shaft is too long, but I could be wrong on that.

    289 Engine Redline

    One issue that the old 289/302 blocks have is that, at high RPM, the block will start to twist which can cause cracking/failure.

    289 hop up help

    I know this isn't related to the engine, but if you want the biggest bang for you buck, then I'd get a new set of gears in the rear. If this car doesn't see any freeway driving, then a set of 3.50's would do quite well. :)

    new toy. (tool related)

    Jealous here. I keep telling myself that I am going to get a decent welder one of these days, but somehow I keep finding new ways to throw money into the 67.

    '66 Mustang: Engine Won't Crank

    When you try to start the car, does it make any kind of sound (like a click noise for example)? After you try to spin the engine with a breaker bar, and before you pull the starter (if the engine does spin freely), get a long piece of tubing/wood/plastic that you can put up against the...

    First post! Newbie....67 cowl panel fix.

    Not specifically; you could have the entire windshield be the same temperature and it still have fog on it (one side or both). If the air has moister in it, and the glass is at the dew point temperature for the given atmospheric pressure, then your windows will fog. The fog is tiny drops of...

    As rebel said, the fact that the piece is billet makes it strong then a casting. However, it could all be a moot point if you blow out third gear or twist your input shaft. The way I look at it is if you're spending, say $1,500 for a z spec, then were are talking about something that costs...

    First post! Newbie....67 cowl panel fix.

    Well, cars are not that well sealed. Unless the car doesn't take on water when submerged, the refresh rate of O2 will outpace the depletion rate. When you inhale, you remove O2 from the volume of air that is made up of the inside of the car. The affect is that the inside of the car is at a lower...

    First post! Newbie....67 cowl panel fix.

    You know, that reminds me of one night when I was driving home with a friend from a party. While on the way home I yawned, and he remarked that I must be tired. I told him I didn't feel tired, but just felt like yawning for some reason. He then remarked, "O well that's why, you don't have the...

    Well, the billet cluster plates are suppose to provided added strength; whether it does that I am not sure. However, if you're going to throw ~450hp behind a Z spec turning 3.25's, then I would do it. The plate should cost around $50, and since you're putting an already high amount of power...

    Project 67 Coupe is in the thinking phase: Thinking Phase 1, motor

    I'm with fosterest on this one. If you want to keep it N/A, a big block seems your best bet. Either way you go about this though, it's going to be expensive.

    Project 67 Coupe is in the thinking phase: Thinking Phase 1, motor

    I'd like to point out that the 660BHP assumed a 15% lose through a manual driveline making 575rwhp.
