    390 Hooker Headers

    Has anyone used Hooker Headers for a 390 in a 67 mustang? Years ago my dad cut out the rear fender aprons to fit them and I am hopeful that they now make them so that they fit. HOK-6114HKR 67, fastback, 390 and a 4 speed. Thank you

    351W Stroker vs 390

    I believe they also used a different set of shock towers for the big blocks, at least they did in 67. DH is right, big blocks have a cool factor but everything I buy costs my allot more than what the same part for a 351 is. Good luck..

    Toe board fit-up 67 coupe

    I just replaced mine in a 67 Fastback and it was a nightmare. I actually had to purchase another one for the driver side since I screwed up the first on so bad. They try to make these for multiple models and applications and they take a fair amount of modifications to fit them together. Mine...

    Rocker Arms

    Sorry about that.....390 with stock rebuilt heads, Edelbrock performer intake and Holley Carb. They did not do much else to it. I assume the compression is what it was stock.

    Suspension Rebuild on a Budget

    One thing to remember is that if you do this yourself you need to be extremely careful when removing and installing the springs. Do not give into temptation and use an impact wrench to compress them, it is not worth the busted knee caps (or worse)that you will endure.

    Suspension Rebuild on a Budget

    You are better off replacing everything. The parts are not too expensive as long as you stay stock. If you piece it together you will be in an endless cycle of replacing parts.

    390 Block Spacer

    Perfect, thank you for helping clear it up. It looks like it is the same plate for both automatics and manuals.

    390 Block Spacer

    It does have a removable "adjustment" cover. Some of the other spacer that I have seen have a larger hole at the top instead of the three holes.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130350390762&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1182 Thanks

    390 Block Spacer

    I recently purchased a 390 big block and it came with the block spacer and flywheel for an auto transmission. I have a 4 speed manual but I am not sure if the block spacer is the same for the automatic as the manual? I have seen pictures on-line with the description noting it both ways...
