    Has anyone ever told you..

    My former boss was that way too. The classic guys can be just as bad. I guess ignorance is bliss?? :shrug: But I figure Ill just blow his doors off when I see him at a stoplight. AND I built mine myself, I didnt go off and pay 20k for someone elses dream.

    my pony is broke again

    Dmoody: I would think the tech just ran like zip-ties or bolts through the fins, and secured it that way. Megan: If its a small leak, you can pour black pepper down the fill. (and get :owned: ) If its bigger and easily accessable, you can try to solder it. Or you can remove it, and have a...

    What are the benefits of duals, anywayz? (besides the coolness factor)

    New Headlights for my II with H4 Halogen Bulbs

    351w'ers, what radiator hose are you using?

    mines from a 78 pickup, and I just got a flex-hose from NAPA. But it kinda kinks at times :rolleyes:

    X or H pipe on a II

    What about a y-pipe? I got one on, and a thrush turbo muffler. I love it! Really quiet till ya get on it. and its easier to put on. No routing the left pipe around the gas tank. :nonono:

    V-8 Radiator

    OOPS!! Sorry Rob, I didnt think it was anyone around here. It took 4 months of searches, and that was the only one that I saw. Like I said, go to www.carradiator.com and a new one was only 20 bux more than the total there. They include shipping too, I think.

    V-8 Radiator

    I found new OE ones at www.carradiators.com they only run about 250. correct me if Im wrong, but a couple of radiator shops have told me the 3core actually works better than the 4core. Bigger lines, and more space to dissipate heat :shrug:

    v-6 to v-8 swap

    There is a database (I think) on the Mustangii.net site. It shows springs for whatever model MII you have. Or, Balance a bunch of people on a spring, measure the compression, add up all the weight, and Viola' :D

    v-6 to v-8 swap

    It depends, but the best chance to get the tough springs are outta a 302, with PS/PB and air conditioning. But My '74 V6 had the high rate springs already. Last I heard, only the springs were different. But dont quote that.

    v-6 to v-8 swap

    You need the 302 Motor mounts, frame mounts, exhaust manifolds, radiator, oil pan, and a tranny to fit it. I did a 351W in mine, and I say its a little too much work. But I havent been able to mat the gas yet. Make sure to only go with a small block(289.302. 351) Big blocks can be put...

    302 V8 Enhancements? (looking at possibly selling)

    Again, Check Ebay. But for new, An edelbrock carb is about 200-250, and the manifold runs from 125 on up. Now, dont be fooled into getting a race manifold. These are miserable for a street car. Check on the box, pamphlet, or catalog description. Many have an "optimum range" If it says...

    351w Swap into a 76 CobraII

    Be glad your not doin it in a '74. (the nose is 2"shorter) You'll need the stock exhaust manifolds, but so far, I havent had to grind anything. the Passenger side one just sets right on the subframe. A MII 302 oilpan (unless you want to bash a front sump one in to work) I already had...

    Whats your gas mileage??

    Oh yeah, I was gonna post mine too. :rlaugh: My II gets an average of 15-16 depening on how hard I drive it. (351w/AOD and 3.55 gears) Doesnt matter what the speed I cruise at. Also have a 79 merc bobcat (2.3/4speed) that does this. Exactly 20mpg no matter what. Now I have a 95 cougar...

    Mustang II

    These rotors pop up on Ebay quite a bit, Keep your eyes peeled and you can score a pretty good deal there. The other way Ive heard (for the rear) is to get axles out of a Ranger with a 5-lug. But I didnt pay too much attention to all that. Do a search in the stangnet archives, theres a...

    Quéstions

    Howd you get 28mph!?!? What engine do ya have? Im lucky to get 18 (but then its a carbed 351W, and my foots in it all the time) Im not complaining about the drivability of the AOD, I think its a god-send. But My trans tunnel and engine bay (74) are so small, I had to install the trans...
