    anyone with this setup?

    If you have nothing to add that can help this guy, why even post? I think it's pretty obvious what he was getting at..... To the OP, just run a piece of string where the serpentine belt should be routed, then measure it. You should be able to find a belt you need once you have that...

    LIMITATIONS OF STOCK CLUTCH

    There's nothing wrong with the factory clutch disc itself, but you definitely want a different pressure plate.

    What type of intake

    From what I understand, the 351W's that came in Lightnings had a GT40 upper/lower intake. May want to try to find one of those.

    new stang...horsepower goals

    I'd have to agree with your assessment. I don't know what planet some of these other guys are from, but there are not a whole lot of 330 RWHP H/C/I 302 based cars running around. Even with a magical custom cam, magical AFR heads, and a magical tune, these same guys keep yammering about there...

    Cam Selection

    My .544/.555 Comp XE-266 cam didn't really even bring the valves close to my stock pistons when we clayed one.

    confused about engines

    From the sounds of it, the seller doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. What does this 'built motor' consist of? Don't buy the car unless the car itself is really nice and the price is cheap. Should be able to swap a nice later 5.0 roller motor right in place of the crappy old flat...

    Anyone running the 5-lug disc brake conversion?

    I did mine for about $300 plus another $125 or so for stainless front 'soft lines' but it was still well worth it compared to the $1600 Ford kit.

    Price on a rebuild

    I disassembled my shortblock, brought it in had the block hot-tanked and honed, decked, and all new main, rod, and cam bearings installed, all new freeze and oil galley plugs, new rings on the factory pistons (even after 150K miles they found no significant bore wear), and ARP main and rod bolts...

    Roller Rockers...

    It's a good thing you mentioned this. Sounded like the OP wanted to put them on his stock heads, then transfer them to better heads down the road. Not really feasible unless you have your heads machined for studs or buy aftermarket heads with crappy pedestal mount rockers; neither of which...

    Is this B.S. or not

    What exactly are you looking to do? Sounds to me like just refreshing your stocker should be enough for what you want to do unless I missed something. If you don't have substantial bore wear, just reuse the factory forged pistons and save a few bucks. Look around for a more competent shop...

    best product for removing salt build up on the engine

    Either don't run the thing in salt if you don't want salt on it, or be sure to wash the car constantly when there's salt on the roads. That being said, I think a pressure washer is the best/easiest way.

    Tourque Box Repair ???

    +1 Bolted mine in, and haven't noticed any movement, stretching or cracking around the bolts. Should probably weld them at some point though.

    Driveshaft hitting tunnel. Please help

    Good point. Make sure to check your pinion angle before beating your car with a hammer anymore.

    50resto 5 lug conversion worth it?

    I did the ranger rear axles and sn-95 front swap. Really not that hard or difficult. It's totally worth it to just do it the junkyard way if you have some decent yards within 30 miles. My only regret is that I guess a lot of explorers had 31 spline posi carriers and they swap right into your...

    Does anyone have this exterior/interior combo? Just decoded body tag...

    Mustangs were made in '87 and '88 in medium shadow blue metallic as well, but not in large numbers. I think there were roughly 1,000 5-liter notchbacks total made in this color according to my book. Your is probably the only one with Cobra doors however :D

    One Tire Fire

    Make sure you have them rebuild the posi while it's apart. If possible, have them do it with the 'modified' stacking order in which a plate is removed, and one of you old clutches is reused along with the new clutch kit.

    Considering BBK 70 TB to Accufab 65 swap...opinions

    I would do it in a heartbeat. The 65mm should be enough for what you have done anyway, despite what others are going to say.

    Is This a blown headgasket??

    One Tire Fire

    I've heard anywhere between $350-$500 for a basic ring & pinion install. What sucks is I don't believe that they would rebuild your posi in a 'modified' fashion......the posi itself is easy to rebuild and doesn't require special tools. It never hurts to call around and check. Try to find out...

    oil pump shaft problem,HELP!!!

    There is a little clip on the pump drive shaft that is supposed to hit the part that the base of the dizzy seats in prevent you from being able to pull it all of the way out of the pump. The clip may have gotten knocked down a little on the pump drive shaft if you've yanked the distributor a...
