    Intake ideas and clearance questions...

    Is there even an intake for that? If so you should be able to find out how tall it would be.

    Will 18x8 rims fit in the front on 1964 1/2 ford mustang

    I like 15" wheels on early cars no matter the make, but the reality is there are not many choices for performance tires. Stance is what makes it work, but some of the cars with 20" or even bigger do look cartoonish. I am also not opposed to anyone doing anything to their own car. People...

    Borgeson Box install

    If this box performs, it will be a major step for early Mustangs. Thanks for taking the time to document your experience.

    Is anyone using an SN95 8.8 in their 67-70 car

    I have a 95 8.8 in mine. They are 3/4" per side wider than a fox and a 67 and fox are with in 1/4" or less in overall length. I actually think it is more like 3/32". If you use an SN95 8.8 you will need around 5.5"-5.75" BS on an 8" wide wheel. Depending on the wheels you might have to use...

    How much power can those support?

    Machined block... but no main caps

    If you do it, have the machinist measure the crank to cam center line. Align honing moves the crank closer to the cam and can cause the timing chain to be loose. Cloyes has matched sets to compensate. With an acurate measurement it can be corrected. I wish I had done this and only bought one...

    Pics of my progress and a question.

    No apology needed, I can see why you reacted. I can't find red bottles around here. I used it when I could find it.

    Pics of my progress and a question.

    I was not trying to insult you. I was short on time. The pistons I have seen that have reliefs for TW and inline valves look like it would put the valve where it hit the top of the piston and not the dish area. I am sure you will check again once all the parts come in.

    Pics of my progress and a question.

    That cam with TW heads is very likely to kill the valve when they get smacked by the pistons.

    which turbo do I choose?

    I don't think I would go to the trouble of a turbo for 400hp. A guy on one of my local boards has been high 6's with a stock 5.0 shrt block with heads cam and VicJr carb intake. He also went 6.30's with a 150 shot.

    67 stang with 351w

    You can definitely make a 10 sec DD with a turbo. Mine went some 6.90's with a 280 energizer crane cam and 3.08 gears. That was with pump gas and drag radials. It idles around 600-650 in gear and shifts at 5500. It is ALL homebuilt in a two car garage with very basic tools. Here is my build...

    which turbo do I choose?

    Carbs with low boost are not too hard. You do have to understand what makes a carb tick to make them work though. Innovate web site has some very smart people to help with blow through too. My carb works great and is all home modded.

    Is there a carb better than a Holley 4bbl?

    The Barry Grant carbs might have some good points, but the rep I have seen on the net is not so good. There have been many people complain about metal shavings, burrs hanging in metering orifices, emulsion hole different on each side of a metering block, etc. If quality control was good, they...

    Front suspension problems

    Just kidding, a good alignment will be in order too. It may be hard to come by, especially with people that have never seen an early Mustang's suspension. I got so discouraged that I learned to do my own on all my cars. I am pretty sure I will work harder to get it right than the guy getting...

    I don't know what the speed limit is in CA, but I bet it is not close to 90. Slow down, problem fixed

    Which line is trans cooler return line on c4?

    The front one is out from the pump. The return is the rear port.

    Do I Need Traction Bars?

    You had to add traction bars? Autos are not as prone to wheel hop and may not need them. Some springs have more arch than others. Actually a flat spring gets shorter as they compress. The rod will be pushing back and the spring perch trying to move forward. Something has to give. You...

    Do I Need Traction Bars?

    A clutch changes everything. Automatic cars are far more forgiving. Springs do change length or there would not be a shackle on the back. Here is something copied from Traction Masters web site. • G–1 Polyurethane Bushings Perfect fit to the original M–1 cast ends. Maintains optimal...
