    Can anyone simplify the 69 drop?

    69 lowering springs ? Im really not interested in cutting my old springs. So I checked The Paddock, Summit and Jegs. They dont seem to carry much of anything for pre 79. But Jegs has two options for front springs, one is STsuspention which is the cheaper, and Global west which specifies a 1"...

    69 drop kit vs weird factory effect question

    more Didnt think to mention that I put performance suspention technology leaf springs on a few years ago. So those should be good. The high front effect is probly not worse than it was from the factory, just wanna drop it. The shelby drop sounds like a good ideal.

    69 drop kit vs weird factory effect question

    Ive got a 69 coupe. Ive been thinking seriously about doing a drop kit to finish off the look of the car. I hope everyone knows what Im talking about when I say that on these cars , they appear to be higher in the front then in the back, because of fender flare or wheel well size or...

    blower/supercharger on a 351w automatic??

    Ive heard the whipple twin screws are the best blower. Anyone out there with blowers on a small block? Is this possible? Only thing im worried about is the tranny kickdown. I had enough trouble just putting an edelbrock carb on it. Would I have to fab up a custom kickdown rod and linkage or...

    FordRacing throttlebody, WTH ?

    So this stock replacement FR throttlebody might be part of my idling problems. For one thing, the fresh air hole that goes to the IAC doesnt line up with the IAC hole. Also, I think the hole is smaller than a stock throttle body. And according to the product description on SummitRacing, this...

    BBK Performance SSI Intake

    strut tower brace?? Has anyone with a bbkssi been able to find a cross tower brace that will fit over this intake? The cobra one seems to fit around a lot of stuff. Not apposed to having to modify one either.

    BBK Performance SSI Intake

    timing IAC Spacer or MAF ok, so i shaved 1 or 2/16 off the fuel rail spacers, put RTV on the O rings to solve the fuel leak problem. Timing is not a problem because I reset to TDC and the mark i made on the distributor before dismantleing is dead on. and once again, she started 3-5 times...
