I just bought a cheapie single hump, cut the hump off,fabbed it up ,and welded it to my crossmember.BINGO . But I do like the sound of welding in the tube.
If you are going to mini tub,. roll the lips, AND ,possibly relocate the springs . Where does the dilemma lie? Get those big sticky's and start cutting! Sounds like your only problem should be wheel related. Well, that and probably rearend width. Any plans on going with another rear??
I...
Why not fix the trans in the crown vic and float that? That way you can do the stang up right. Remember there is never enough time to do it right the first time ,BUT THERE IS ALWAYS ENOUGH TIME TO FIX IT RIGHT THE SECOND TIME AROUND. Or if you are hell bent on driving the muzzy,I'd stick a 4...
I have 16" mustang wheels on mine. I am running a 3/8" spacer on the front( but I could run without it) No problems,
I ( if memory serves) cut 1-1/4 wraps off of my spring. I do know when cutting the first set I tried, 1coil,not enough,so 2 coils, nice , but 2-1/2 :jaw: dropped it in the...
I do not think lowering blocks are a bad idea.(you get to keep the same ride quality)As far as the slapper bars, if they go to the leaf springs all should be well. But if they bolt /wrap around the rear,then adjustment may be in order.
What about the front? I used 86 GT v-8 springs and cut...
JEEEZZZZZ if they do not keep track of axles,specs, etc. of what they make ,I would have to double guess ordering from them. What would you do IF you had a problem????:shrug:
On second thought maybe that just covers their ass. Never know if someone modified or changed something!
All the same changes you would need for a 302. Including ,but not limited to: Frame mounts,motor mounts,oil pan, exhaust manifolds,radiator,transmission bell and converter,wiring harness?,(alternator), belts ,hoses,etc.etc.
How bout a 1974 Cobra II with a V-8 swap. Small rad(probably overheats) Here is the best part, white with blue stripes and RED, yes RED interior. Should be a 76 instead of a 74. OH , I almost forgot, it's only $ 7800.00 It is on autabuy. Nice looking hoodscoop though!
"1974 FORD MUSTANG...
How true, how so very true. I stuffed a 289 in my 74. There again nothing fit. Had to make alot of stuff. I see your point with the gm crowd too. I always said GM stood for generic motors cause 1 part will fit 7 cars and span 9yrs. This is where the FOX stang comes to play. It has been called...
I suppose I am in this catagory. I was 12 yrs old when the new 79 mustangs came out. I liked the car. Aerodynamic looking nose , and the rest boxy ,like the early 80's cars.
I liked them enough to buy one and Pro street it, after I sold my 74.
One thing I can say is I like ( or...
I see, you feel as though you are not getting full voltage to the starter when you turn the key. Which very well could be a solenoid, But, if it does start and only misses engagement occasionally I would still say bendix. New starter,get an exchange on it. First though check voltage accross...
Your starter problem sounds to be a bendix. Easy to replace and not expensive either. As far as the lights flickering at idle. I had a 74 that did this alot. The lights also dimmed at idle and brightened when the rpm's came up. Since the wiring had been hacked up under the hood due...
I got my old catalog out and I always recieved the 65-73 mustang catalog. I guess ya learn something new every day. Now I feel dumber than a trout bitin' on a rubber cricket!:rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh:
I just got my NEW mustangs unlimited catalog. It lists ( get this) 74-08 mustang parts & accessories!
I thumbed through it and they have weatherstrips,cobra stickers, quarter skins ,stripe kits,and all sorts of underhood stickers( emmissions,tire pressure,battery test OK,you...
advancing a cam increases low end performance as does retarding it improves top end performance. BUT , there is no way to tell you what to do without FIRST degreeing the cam to tell where it is at. Not all cams match the cam cards. I would probably just degree it and install straight up. With...
