    Roush Woo hoo!

    I've seen both sides of this issue... My former car was a REALLY nice 65 Shelby Clone (www.gt350clone.com) that competed in a LOT of shows. Frankly, I was PROUD of it's "Clone" status, and the effort it took to build the car to point it was. I knew it wasn't "real", and that was one of the BEST...

    Rollbar Questions?????/

    They work just fine - they actually extend rearward at ~45* angle - much like the 67 and 68 Shelby factory equipment. If they were straight up & down, I'm sure they wouldn't be effective. I think the old SCCA spec was "horizontal, within a range of -5* to +40*". I've actually made the mistake...

    Small Block engine Pics

    Ah, what the heck. Here's a few pictures of my former 65 Clone. That's a late model 5.0 motor, dressed to look vintage, along with lots of little tricks, like stainless fasteners, hidden wiring, re-routed plug wiring, etc.... Sometimes, the things you DON'T notice/see are as important as the...

    Rollbar Questions?????/

    I have several shots of the Branda street bar installed in my former 65 FB IN THIS PHOTO ALBUM. Hope that helps. :nice: It fit well, and had good rear seat access. I fabricated the tabs for shoulder harnesses - they did not come with the bar.

    Want a carb'd late model mod motor for your classic?

    I did. All I see is Kar Kraft's complete engine package, along with promises of an upcoming PROPRIETARY "Cyklone" ignition system. How much is that gonna run, and where do you get replacement parts? :( I had HEARD MSD was working on a standalone ignition system for the mod motors, but you...

    Roush New Owner - 00-493 (Peeektures)

    Still needs a GOOD cleaning. Front bumper cover was repainted, and they left the numbers off (I intend to replace), but the underhood and dash plates are both there. Saleen signed the dash & radiator cover. Runs pretty well..... :D Supercharger, mats, Ford Leather were all original...

    Roush Opinions on this car?

    I'm actually OK with the auto - just don't want to get into something that might become a serious :fuss: on future resale. The wife refuses to drive a 5-speed, so she's REALLY happy about an auto car. If I were buying for me (and me alone), I'd rather have a blue hardtop SC 5-speed car...

    Roush Opinions on this car?

    Hi all - first post on the Saleen board. In the process of selling my 65, and considering a 99-up Saleen to replace it - if I can find the "right" car. Anyway, stumbled across 00-68 - 281SC vert, Saleen leather, chrome wheels, hood, big brake, etc. Definitely a hi-dollar optioned car. Asking...

    undercar picture and side exhaust

    If you want loud, Spintech makes their mufflers in a front in/out configuration - they're a lot more like the "flowmaster sound" than the Dynomax's.

    fiberglass or carbon fiber

    CF is 1/2 the weight (and twice the cost). Delta Bay is one place to get them (bottom of the page).

    Best aluminum rad for my money?

    If/when I ever decide to go aluminum, I'd look at the Griffins from streetortrack.com. They have figured out a (FREE!) way to change the mounting bracket angle on 65/66 radiators to give 3/4" - 1/2" more clearance - a great plus with an electric fan. Besides, Shaun & Bill are true Mustang...

    How to make a 67 handle

    Many different options - all costing varying degrees of comfort, time or money - your choice. ;) When it's ALL said & done, TIRES are the single biggest variable though. My suspension tech page covers some of the options.
