    302 w/ 3spd manual, convert to T-5?

    You don't need a new bell for that swap. All you need is a bolt on transmission adapter (about $150) to mate the T-5 to the existing bell and modifying the crossmember to move it rearward. The driveshaft may or may not need shortening. Keep the flywheel, pressure plate, clutch, clutch...

    "Paint your car for 50 bucks" I am going to try it.

    There may be others but I've used these vendors with good results: TCP Global Smart Shoppers Auto Paint Pro TCP has some nice metallics. The Smart Shopper site has a complete kit with primer, base, clear, and supplies for under $200. Good deal, but keep in mind, this is not pro quality...

    "Paint your car for 50 bucks" I am going to try it.

    My .02 is that if you can spray Rustoleum, you can spray base coat/clear coat. The paint will look nicer and there are some inexpensive kits out there that do a decent job. Rustoleum has its place and I use it a lot, but this looks like the hard way to paint a car. I've painted several of my...

    Retrofited Sebring Convertible Seats

    A single hoop bar would still leave the rear seat free, unlike a full cage. Normally there are only two additional rearward facing bars thru the rear shelf to brace the bar.

    Retrofited Sebring Convertible Seats

    A roll bar would solve your seatbelt mounting problems, stiffen up the chassis, and add safety.

    Safe way to remove harmonic balancer - '67 6 cyl.

    Sometimes on the stubborn ones, I use a breaker bar, a socket, and the starter. Place the socket over the bolt, rest the breaker bar on the driver side frame rail, then bump the starter. Bolt loosens instantly.

    Putting IRS in my 65 Mustang

    The Jag rear is plenty strong and there are lots of ways to make it stronger. Jaguars have been racing on versions of that rear since the late fifities and the weak points are known and correctable. If the intent is to drag race with big power, slicks, and nitrous, IRS is probably not the way...

    Anyone wanna give me a estimate?

    Not many aftermarket heads will work on a small bore 260. The valves simply won't clear.

    Heidt's Rear 4-Link Coil-Over Suspension

    I'd be interested in seeing how they run an exhaust past all the Heidt's stuff.

    Traction options for 8"

    I am a cheapskate so I found a used Trac Lok for $40 and rebuilt it for another $60. Then I added new 3.55 gears for $180 and installed it with a $80 kit. Total for all was less than $400.

    How much to rebuild a 65 200 6cyl and C4?

    If it's an MGB, the standard rear gear is a 3.909. An MGA would have a similar ratio. Either would have a 200/C4 combo spinning pretty high rpm's at freeeway speeds. Odd combination...

    Thoughts on why this is happening??

    Check your ignition first. It could be a bad wire or timing. If that checks out, then look at fuel delivery. The fact that it occurs at WOT seems to indicate a fuel starvation issue. It might be float level, fuel pressure, or power valve - or maybe a combination of these. But don't...

    3 questions after searching AOD info

    geostang351 is correct. If you use a C4 yoke, you have to cut it off because it is too long to fully insert into the AOD. That does nothing to reduce the distance between the transmission (which is longer than a C4) and the diff. It is possible in many cases to get the original unshortened...

    super T-10 into 67 cougar/mustang

    Let me be blunt.....this is a dumb idea. The GM super T-10 is not that good that it is worth the effort, otherwise many others would have already done this swap. If you really want a T-10, get the Ford version and be done with it. It is not worth the time, money, or effort to do this. You...

    super T-10 into 67 cougar/mustang

    There are adapters that allow you to bolt a GM pattern trans to a Ford bellhousing and vice versa but this is not a feasible swap. You will need a pilot bushing adaper, A GM clutch disc, A T-10 shifter, A GM transmission yoke, an adapter u-joint, and possibly a custom speedometer cable to...

    versailes rear discs

    The only other real issue with the Versailles stuff is that replacement stuff can be pricey. The rotors and calipers are unique.
